Nowadays, noise ranks among the most common pollutants of the environment and causes serious civilization-linked diseases. In the Czech Republic, relevant information on the noise level of individual road surfaces and their changes are currently largely unavailable. The present article deals with the measurement of road surfaces by Close ProXimity method (CPX) in accordance with the draft of standard ISO 11819-2. Therefore, individual aspects, which have different impacts on field measurement, are discussed in detail. Partial results obtained within a project of TAČR No. TA01030459 - "Change in the noise of road surfaces over several years of use" are presented. They are to provide basic information on the levels of acoustic pressure and the interface tyre/road of different road surface types and age used in the Czech Republic. The results confirm that specialized "low-noise surfaces" may help to reduce excessive noise from road transport, but it is necessary to perform measurements in compliance with recommendations from the latest standards, and to monitor the presented results regarding selected comparison bases for a comparison between common and "low-noise" surfaces.

Keywords: noise load - reduction, road surface noise, Close-Proximity Method (CPX)
