Highlights
► We studied road traffic noise exposure at home and child behavioural problems. ► Two modelled noise indicators, one for 24 h and one for night noise, were used. ► Noise levels at the least exposed façade were related to more emotional symptoms. ► Noise at the most exposed façade was related to more hyperactivity symptoms.
