HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Are you thinking of moving? Looking for a quiet neighborhood? You may want to consider viewing a road noise map of the Houston area.



It shows not just road noise, but aviation noise as well. It appears that airplanes, not cars, make a bigger impact on volume.



The star formation on the map around Bush Airport shows the approach and departure angles of the runways.
