Population Above the EPA Outdoor Threshold
The EPA's 55 dBA outdoor reference level is a common benchmark for residential noise exposure, especially for activity interference, annoyance, and long-term community noise concerns. About 2,073 Beverly Park residents, or 64.5%, live above that level. By land area, 72.8% of Beverly Park is above 55 dBA.

Noise by Part of Beverly Park
Average noise levels for Beverly Park residents, grouped by direction from the center of Beverly Park. The highest population-weighted average is in northern Beverly Park; the lowest is in southern Beverly Park, where just 44% of residents live in blocks above the EPA's 55 dBA threshold, about two-thirds of the share in the loudest section.

Quiet office to normal conversation
To the human ear, noise in northern Beverly Park sounds about 133% louder than in southern Beverly Park, a 12.2 dBA gap. Every 10 dBA roughly doubles perceived loudness. Within any of these directions, two homes a quarter mile apart can still differ by 10 or more dBA depending on how close they sit to a major highway.
How far back from State Hwy 91 do you need to be?
State Hwy 91 produces an estimated 71 dBA at its loudest centerline points. Noise drops logarithmically with distance, with the exact rate depending on what's between you and the road. Tree cover, walls, terrain, and pavement type all matter. At roughly a quarter mile back, traffic fades into the noise level of a soft rainfall.

Calculated from the model's calibrated attenuation formula. About 11% of Beverly Park sits under tree canopy (lighter than most neighborhoods) and roughly 48% is impervious surface like pavement and rooftops. Both are folded into the per-place decay rate above. Heavier canopy pulls noise down faster with distance; impervious surfaces slow the drop.

Airport Noise
Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International (FLL) sits northeast of Beverly Park. The U.S. Department of Transportation measures aviation noise around this airport directly, and the model uses those federal measurements rather than synthetic predictions.
Blocks under the approach and departure paths carry combined road-plus-aviation noise, with some exceeding 50 dBA on the map's Overall layer. Blocks on the opposite side of Beverly Park, particularly to the southwest, show no measurable aviation contribution. Use the Aviation toggle on the map above to isolate the airport's footprint.
How Noise Is Distributed Across Beverly Park
The bar chart below shows the share of Beverly Park residents in each noise band. About 32% of residents live below the EPA's 55 dBA threshold, and roughly 19% live in blocks above 60 dBA. Long-term exposure in that range is linked to elevated stress hormones and cardiovascular risk.
How Beverly Park Compares
Beverly Park sits at the louder end of the spectrum. Below: how Beverly Park's average outdoor noise and share of residents above the EPA threshold compare with Walnut Creek, Edgewood, Liberia, and Embassy Lakes.
Average noise level (dBA)
Beverly Park's 57.9 dBA pop-weighted average is at the louder end of the spectrum. Florida as a whole averages 51.6 dBA and the U.S. averages 52.0 dBA. Both are lower than Beverly Park because most of either area is rural land away from major roads.
Share of residents above 55 dBA
About 64.5% of Beverly Park residents live in blocks where outdoor levels exceed the EPA's 55 dBA threshold. That's in the middle of its peer group. Measured by land area instead, 72.8% of Beverly Park's footprint sits above 55 dBA, against a Florida average of 31.8% and a national average of 28.1%.
What This Means if You're Moving to Beverly Park
- Distance from highways matters more than the neighborhood name. Two homes in the same zip code can differ by 20 dBA if one sits 100 meters from State Hwy 91 and the other 500 meters away. The model captures this at 100-meter resolution, so noise exposure changes block by block.
- Tree canopy can help reduce modeled noise exposure. Roughly 11% of Beverly Park is under tree cover (lighter than most neighborhoods), and the dominant land cover is low-intensity developed land. Both are measured from federal USDA Forest Service and USGS satellite imagery at 30-meter resolution. Streets with 60% or higher canopy show 3 to 5 dBA lower noise than comparable streets with bare ground or pavement, which is why the per-place decay rate above already accounts for it.
- Airport noise is directional. Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International's approach paths concentrate aviation noise to the northeast. Neighborhoods to the southwest of downtown show no measurable contribution from the airport.
