Traffic passes through Nutgrove Avenue for 16 hours, daily.
One street in Dublin has recorded noise levels as loud as freeway traffic, with 11-thousand vehicles passing through each day.
Residents on Nutgrove Avenue in Rathfarnham, who measured levels over a hundred days, found the stretch of road is noisy for an average of nineteen and a half hours a day.
They say some days they get no quiet period at all and there's never less than 16 hours of noise, starting at 6.20am and lasting until half three in the morning.
The group says noise pollution causes serious health problems from sleep disturbance to premature death and reducing speeds by 10km/hr can cut noise by 40 per cent.
