Sixty‐one social surveys on annoyance caused by road traffic noise conducted world‐wide
over a period of forty‐five years have been re‐analyzed by various means for possible temporal
trends. Eighteen of these surveys were conducted after 2000. People’s reactions to road traffic noise
seem to have been stable across the study period. No indications were found that would warrant
revision of the current EU reference curve for predicting the annoyance from road traffic noise.
