Ladoga, IN Noise Levels

Ladoga, IN: what the federal noise map shows

Ladoga, IN reads 92 dB(A) on BTS's 24-hour average, inside HUD's "Unacceptable" noise zone, above 75 dB(A), the most severe category HUD's own housing rules recognize. Rail traffic drives that number here, not the other two sources. This describes Ladoga as a whole, not a specific block, the underlying BTS map resolves to about 38 meters per pixel, sampled at the town's own center point.

Each of the three transportation modes gets its own model from BTS; the combined figure above is what they add up to.

What this means for a house here

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. The same window and door upgrades that work on road noise also cut broadband rail noise, though very low-frequency freight rumble travels through walls, not just glass.

Where Ladoga ranks

Among the 3,622 US places in this dataset with any measurable transportation noise, Ladoga ranks 1, loudest first. About 1,096 people live there, making it the 9,905th largest place in this dataset.
