Arlington, MN Noise Levels
Arlington, MN: what the federal noise map shows
Arlington, MN reads 47.5 dB(A) on BTS's 24-hour average, inside HUD's "Acceptable" noise zone, 65 dB(A) day-night average or below under 24 CFR 51.104, the federal government's own line for building housing with no extra sound attenuation required. That's the reading at Arlington's Census-defined center point, not any one street, BTS's map is a live raster, not a per-address service.
