Canyon, TX Noise Levels
How loud is Canyon, TX?
BTS only publishes Canyon, TX in the 70-79.9 dB(A) band, which straddles HUD's own dividing line: depending on exactly where in that range the true 24-hour average falls, this reads as "Normally Unacceptable" (65-75 dB(A)) or "Unacceptable" (above 75 dB(A)) under 24 CFR 51.104. The main source is road traffic, well ahead of the other two modes BTS tracks. That figure is sampled at one coordinate, the Census Bureau's own internal point for Canyon, not a street-by-street survey of the whole place.
Where Canyon's noise comes from
BTS models these three sources separately before combining them, so a place can be quiet on two and loud on the third.
If you're weighing a move to Canyon
That also clears FHWA's own 66 dB(A) impact threshold for residential land use (23 CFR 772, Table 1), the level highway agencies use to decide whether a new road needs a sound wall. Upgraded windows, door seals and STC-rated glazing meaningfully cut broadband, near-continuous road noise.

Canyon's number isn't a one-off calculation, it comes from the same method covered in the methodology guide. The guide to what actually cuts each kind of noise explains why road traffic calls for a different fix than the other two sources.
