BTS only publishes La Grange, KY in the 60-69.9 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 "Acceptable" (65 dB(A) or below) or "Normally Unacceptable" (65-75 dB(A)) under 24 CFR 51.104. The main source is road traffic, well ahead of the other two modes BTS tracks. That's the reading at La Grange's Census-defined center point, not any one street, BTS's map is a live raster, not a per-address service.
