Timpson, TX Noise Levels
How loud is Timpson, TX?
At 57.5 dB(A), Timpson, TX falls 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. The main source is rail traffic, well ahead of the other two modes BTS tracks. Timpson's reading comes from a single sampled point, not a block-by-block sweep, so a specific address here could genuinely differ.
