Abstract
As traffic volume and speed increased on the nation's highway system, Wisconsin and other states began experiencing noise problems on Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements in the form of an objectionable high-pitched whine. It was recognized that the transverse tining on PCC pavements plays a critical role in highway noise. In a project sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration, Marquette University and the HNTB Corporation were hired to determine the cause of the whine and develop a new texturing procedure or pattern that could eliminate the whine.
