Baudette, MN Noise Levels
Baudette, MN: what the federal noise map shows
Baudette, 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. Road traffic drives that number here, not the other two sources. That's the reading at Baudette's Census-defined center point, not any one street, BTS's map is a live raster, not a per-address service.
