Generic land maps will show you a parcel outline. They will not tell you whether a highway, a rail line, or a broadcast tower sits on the next ridge. TerraScore’s Quiet score is the acoustic half plus the RF half — one number for people who bought land to hear birds, not semis.
Distance to mapped interstates, trunk roads, rail, and airports. Closer is noisier. A property 400 feet from a highway is not the same “near” as one four miles away.
How close mapped cell and radio towers are. Handy if you want a dark RF neighborhood — or if you are hunting a ham site and need the opposite read.
Acoustic (roads/rail/airports), RF/EMI (towers and HV lines), and a dark-sky proxy (mapped lamps). An EMI estimate is still not a site survey; dark-sky is not a Bortle meter reading.
What is Total Quiet? Towers and traffic in one score. Generic land maps skip both.
Is this a sound survey? No. We blend the official BTS 2020 transportation noise map with distance to mapped highways, rail, and airports.
What else is in it? RF/EMI from towers and HV lines, plus a dark-sky proxy from satellite night lights. More on how we score land →
