The issue of noise is among the key issues of long-term road transport in terms of its negative impacts on the environment and human health, which is considerably affected by technical the condition of the road - road wearing course. Noise generated by contact of the tyre with the and road surface occurs in vehicles from the speed of approx. 40 km/h and higher, therefore low-noise road pavements have recently been used as anti-noise measures. Although there were just several cases of specialized surface installation in the Czech Republic in 2010, in 2013 there were already dozens of cases. Faster acoustic degradation has been found with low-noise surfaces, which may be related to an aspect of absence of cleaning of these specialized surfaces in the Czech Republic. The article shows measurement results with the use of the CPX method performed within the project of the Technological Agency of the Czech Republic No. TE01020168 - "Centre for Effective and Sustainable Transport Infrastructure" - CESTI, and compares changes of acoustic pressure A measured at the interface tyre/road surface of low noise road pavements which were repeatedly cleaned for several years.
