Flint, MI Noise Levels
Flint, MI: what the federal noise map shows
Flint, MI 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 figure is sampled at one coordinate, the Census Bureau's own internal point for Flint, not a street-by-street survey of the whole place.
