Lone Jack, MO Noise Levels
Noise levels in Lone Jack, MO
BTS only publishes Lone Jack, MO 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 figure is sampled at one coordinate, the Census Bureau's own internal point for Lone Jack, not a street-by-street survey of the whole place.
Where Lone Jack'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.
