Weyauwega, WI Noise Levels

Weyauwega, WI: what the federal noise map shows

Weyauwega, WI 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. Rail traffic drives that number here, not the other two sources. Treat this as Weyauwega's one representative point, not a promise about every block in it, BTS's map wasn't built to resolve individual streets.
