The noise has long been recognized as a stress factor for humans. A high level of noise has many negative influences on health such as: difficulty to concentrate, stress, health issues for the ears, and also has a damaging effect on the cardiovascular and endocrine systems. Road traffic is main source of total noise, especially in conurbations. In order to effectively reduce noise emissions, surface courses can be installed as road surfaces that generate particularly little noise in interaction with the vehicle tire. This paper delas with different types of noise-reducing road surfaces.
