The correct answer is roadway noise.

Noise pollution is also known as environmental noise. It is a type of noise that is harmful to humans and animals. Some of the main sources of noise pollution are: loud music, transportation noise ( roadway noise ), construction, lawn care maintenance or sports games ( yelling ).

Roadway noise is the noise coming from motor vehicles. It consists of engine/tire/ transition noise. Noise of rolling tires is considered to be especially damaging.

The roadway noise has a negative effect on living beings as it causes disruption to brain waves which in turn influences human and animal behavior.
