Summary

Introduction. Environmental protection is one of the most important issues in the complex of measures targeted at promoting the further development of our society. Its urgency is increasing with each passing year. The transport and road complex is a powerful source of environmental pollution. The main share of the air pollution by harmful substances falls precisely on the emissions from motor transport. Along with the air pollution, the noise has become no less common consequence of technical progress and transport development. The current tendency towards an increase in the carrying capacity of vehicles and traffic volume causes an increase in the transport noise level in the highway impact area. It should be noted that the road noise is among the three environmental factors that impair the human health in mass.
Purpose. The material of the pavement and its properties largely cause the noise that occurs during the interaction of the vehicle’s wheel with the road pavement. 
Results. It is concluded that the noise generated during the wheel’s movement can also be used as an indirect indicator that characterizes the grip quality of the road pavement. The studies presented in the paper are focused on the level of noise characteristics of traffic flows depending on the type of road pavement that will allow determining the noise properties of the road pavement during the operation of public highways. The research was carried out on the roads with road pavement types which are most common in Ukraine, namely: stone mastic asphalt (SMА-10, SМА-15, SМА-20), polymer modified stone mastic asphalt, cement.
Conclusion. According to the results of the conducted studies, the acoustic characteristics of the traffic flow passing through different types of pavement were determined and the comparison of these parameters was carried out. During the reconstruction of existing roads and in conditions of increased traffic flows including those, near the settlement areas, it is possible to develop the measures for the rational use of low noise road pavements. It will provide more effective control of the noise mode of the areas located within the highways impact area during the implementation of environmental protection measures.
