Urban noise has become an essential element of environmental analysis in recent years. It is a good tool for assessing environmental quality in urban environments. Residents of large cities are demanding more options of transportation to achieve energy efficiency, low emission of pollutants, and strategic routes, among others. This proposal presents the results of a diagnosis study of urban noise in a heavy traffic avenue in Guadalajara city. The project was performed at the time the infrastructure for the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) was completed and right after the new transportation system started working on Independencia Avenue. The results of the project indicated that the operation of a fast and environmentally friendly bus reduces noise emissions significantly, and it also contributes to the improvement of acoustic quality of the avenue, benefiting both, people and the environment.
