Davie, FL Noise Levels
Is Davie, FL noisy?
Davie, FL reads 52.5 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. Aircraft drives that number here, not the other two sources. That's the reading at Davie's Census-defined center point, not any one street, BTS's map is a live raster, not a per-address service.

What this means for a house here
