The recent research undertaken in Australia on traffic noise is reviewed and summarised. The noise
from traffic is dependent on a number of variants as it does not remain constant. The variants are
volume, speed and quantity of vehicles affecting the noise of traffic; in the main an increase in any one
of these variants or combination of the variants will cause an increase in traffic noise. This paper
considers the options of noise mitigation for dwellings close to heavy vehicle routes including the
possibility for incorporating natural ventilation into housing designs for minimum energy consumption
for the Australian context.The recent research undertaken in Australia on traffic noise is reviewed and summarised. The noise
