The feature story on the front page of the News & Observer in a recent Sunday edition (Sept. 9, 2007) detailed growth, congestion, and noise issues along the recently opened I-540 section north of Raleigh. One down side of the freeway is found in the caption to a series of photos that reads:
Clarence and Kathy Cox used to hear bird calls outside their home in Knightdale. But with I-540 nearby traffic noise prevails... Kathy Cox gets a reading of 65.6 decibels.Hey! 65.6 decibels! That's almost as loud as the MacGregor Downs Golf Course Fans.
