Abstract

Motor vehicular traffic sound data was collected in a "bad urban" neighborhood in Hong Kong, with the microphone placed at a window of a high-rise building overlooking the motor way. This sound-pressure level data is the one-second equivalent A-weighted sound pressure level L(Aeq,1sec). This data's histogram is fit to various skewed probability distributions, like the "generalized hyperbolic" family of distribution. The fit criteria are the "log likelihood" and the "Akaike Information Criterion" (AIC).
