AB  - Amman, the capital of Jordan has been subjected to persistent increase in road traffic due to overall increase in prosperity, fast development and expansion of economy, travel and tourism leading to the traffic noise being a growing environmental problem. This study investigates the changes over the years in the magnitude of the traffic noise pollution, the attitude of the residents towards the problem and estimates its economical  impact.Measurements were made at selected locations and compared with published figures at the same locations in order to identify the changes over time. The impact of the problem on the exposed residents was also evaluated through carrying out a social attitudinal survey and the results were compared with those of  similar studies. An attempt is also made to valuate and put a monetary value for traffic noise.The results confirm that traffic noise levels are growing over the years and their social and economic impacts are also both growing and becoming more significant.
