Noise is one of the most significant contemporary environmental pollutants. Sources of noise are numerous, but traffic is
undoubtedly one of the most prominent. In practice, there is a growing interest in traffic noise protection, but the selection of an
adequate solution represents quite a challenge. The purpose of this paper is to suggest an innovative approach to selecting the
optimal road noise protection solutions. The theoretical approach for public roads noise protection has been tested in practice,
and this paper contains the main results and conclusions stemming from the testing process. The paper shows that the use of
Fuzzy Extended Analytical Hierarchy Process (FEAHP) method for selecting traffic noise protection projects yields excellent
results, taking into account the complexity caused by a large number of difficult-to-estimate factors influencing the selection
process. The concept presented in this paper offers numerous practical and social implications, i.e., optimal financial solution,
best noise protection solution, healthier environment, while, at the same time, representing one new, innovative and original
approach to environmental protection.
