Noise pollution is a problem of continuous public concern; major efforts are devoted to trying to abate it. Vehicular Traffic is a major source of noise pollution in urban areas. The main variables that influence the urban noise are the vehicles and the adjacent land use. The aim of this research was to quantify the noise level in three high traffic volume ways in Chihuahua city, Chihuahua, México: Chihuahua to Hermosillo, Sonora; Chihuahua to Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua; and Chihuahua to Delicias, Chihuahua. For this 64 points of analysis were selected. The noise level was measured during peak hours. The index used was A-weighted equivalent continuous sound pressure level (Leq dB [A]), and the measurement unit was the decibel (dB). The results show that noise level ranged between 67.7 dB (A) and 75.5 dB (A), wich are above the permissible noise levels according to international standards. Using of berms, optimization of road surface, and sound barriers are suggested as adequate alternatives to mitigate the noise level at each point that exceed the maximum permitted levels during daytime. La contaminación por ruido es un problema de continua preocupación pública, por lo que se dedican esfuerzos importantes para controlarlo. El tráfico vehicular es la mayor fuente de contaminación acústica en las áreas urbanas. Las principales variables que inciden en el ruido urbano son el tráfico rodado y su impacto según el uso de suelo colindante. El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar el nivel de ruido que se genera en tres vías de alto tráfico vehicular en la ciudad de Chihuahua, Chihuahua, México: Chihuahua a Hermosillo, Sonora; Chihuahua a Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua; y Chihuahua a Delicias, Chihuahua. Para ello, se seleccionaron 64 puntos de estudio. El nivel de ruido fue medido durante los periodos de máxima demanda vehicular. El índice utilizado fue el nivel de presión sonora continuo equivalente (Leq dB [A]), y la unidad de medida fue el decibelio (dB). Los resultados muestran que el nivel de ruido varió de 67.7 dB (A) a 75.5 dB (A), valores que se encuentran por arriba de los niveles de ruido permisibles, de acuerdo a los estándares internacionales. Se sugiere el uso de bermas, la optimización de la superficie de rodamiento y barreras de sonido como alternativas que se consideran adecuadas para mitigar el ruido en cada punto en que se exceden los niveles permitidos máximos en el día.
