The paper considers urban road network in combination with elements of transport infrastructure which are presented as noise sources. Acoustic analysis of the level of noise produced by transport accounts only railway track spans and highways as linear sources of noise. Within the study road network elements and objects of transport infrastructure were classified; traffic interchanges and objects of transport infrastructure were presented as spatial noise source, which provides relevance of this study. The purpose of the research is development of methods for analyzing noise parameters of road networks and objects of transport infrastructure, as well as analysis of noise level in the residential territories caused by the combination of linear and spatial noise sources. The results of analysis and measurements demonstrate that evaluation of noise level caused by transport of the near-highway territory without the account of traffic interchanges as spatial noise sources leads to downward bias of noise level up to 10 dBA.
