The study referenced here was conducted in 1975. There was a fair amount of research on noise pollution in the 1970s, but it kind of dropped around the time Reagan was elected. Since then, school districts have only increased the practice of building schools next to highways, widening highways already near schools, and locating schools so that almost every student and employee need to come there by motor vehicle.
