The LOUDEST Concrete I have EVER Heard!!!!!

(2/5/23)
THIS IS BY FAR THE LOUDEST CONCRETE I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!! Although it may not sound super loud in the video, TRUST ME IT IS as it’s like 100 TIMES LOUDER IN PERSON!!!!
This was filmed on the on-ramp to I-70 Eastbound from exit 80 near West Jefferson, OH.
This is a VERY RARE low pitched variation of FDOT that I don’t believe has been found anywhere else!! It’s by far the lowest pitched variation of FDOT I’ve heard yet!!
The whole highway used to be grooved with this for about 5 miles past this point but it was only the eastbound lanes and has since been replaced with asphalt sometime around 2019 but the off and on ramp at exit 80 was left original.
It really sucks that ODOT replaced one of the best sounding concrete sections in the state but it makes since as it was in poor condition and people probably complained about how loud it was!!
Here is a video of it before it was replaced: • Interstate 70 - Ohio (...

[@JRE2540]

It sounds like Florida's grooved bridges.

[@asmrroader72]

It really does!! It’s just much lower pitched.

[@asmrroader72]

@LooneyArts It’s kinda similar but definitely different!!

[@interstate20]

It does

[@Superfluffydog1321]

And Indiana pavement as well

[@Zoro-ix5ls]

I agree😊

[@theterminatordude]

Fun Fact: As far as I'm concerned, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Texas(Only on the Galveston Causeway), uses the same groove pattern as Florida's.

[@Superfluffydog1321]

Illinois has pavement like this too. Though I’ve been on I-74 in Illinois and some of the bridges sound like Ohio’s pavement.

[@Timothy-San]

Hawaii uses it too.

[@allaboutairtime6548]

Still reminds me of Floridas bridges when you drive over them slowly

[@asmrroader72]

This is basically a low pitched variation of Florida’s grooving.

[@allaboutairtime6548]

There’s a bridge in Fort Myers, Florida on Colonial Blvd that crosses over McGregor that’s almost identical 0:14

[@oliverwilson5957]

I live a mile away from a highway that uses concrete. I can't sit in my backyard without hearing the screaming of rubber tires slap against it and the sound of it echos for miles

[@samwogs1679]

I’m pretty sure that was the old concrete on i-70 west of Columbus before it became asphalt. It’s weird how it’s that Ohio 2000’s bridge/Indiana style concrete vs. normal high pitched concrete but neat though

[@Superfluffydog1321]

I remember that old pavement existed in the 2010s as well, at least until 2019. They still exist now in the 2020s as well, but ever since 2019ish I would say, they’ve been replacing those bridge sounds.

[@TexansFootball]

I drove over the Galveston Causeway, and it sounded so loud, also I drove on the Katy Freeway, and it was quite, because the grooving went vertically

[@mortalkombat1712]

Las Vegas on Interstate 15 between exits 15 and 27 has the loudest concrete sounds of the highway. It is true because I drove there recently!

[@covenantekeh]

My question is: Is there any solution to it apart from repaving with asphalt?

[@matthewtobias6227]

Sounds Like Florida Low Pitched or Indiana At Normal speed

[@raulscheckpoint147]

It sounds like the bridge in Florida

[@Railman259C]

US 33 in Lancaster, Ohio also has that same concrete sound when you exit US 22, OH 188, and Lithopolis RD NW.

[@asmrroader72]

Wow!! I’ll definitely have to check that out!! Also, I heard there’s some more on US-50 east of Athens.

[@stuffnstuff6594]

The western roads are way louder you'll be surprised just drive in New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, North Dakota, South Dakota the west has the most grooves that make very rubby noise

[@andrewhanson4416]

I was driving on I 94 & I 65 in northwest Indiana there concrete was so loud driving on I thought something was wrong with my car there is a lot of concrete road where I live in Michigan and there usually a little loud but not that loud

[@krabgrass]

Sounds like some of the off-ramps in Phoenix. Just recently, AZDOT removed rubberized asphalt from most freeways after reaching its lifespan. Some lanes or segments have different groove sounds depending on the year they were built.

[@asmrroader72]

Interesting!! I didn’t know states out west use a grooving pattern that makes a similar sound.

[@stuffnstuff6594]

@@asmrroader72 Phoenix I-10 got new screaming noise

[@sargon3740]

I'm from Pittsburgh, and i can say it kinda sounds like the path from i-279 to i-376 after the fort Duquesne bridge

[@Zoro-ix5ls]

Ohio is my 2nd Favorite Bridge Sounds

[@ronaldcurry6264]

Interstate 77 south between Lower Salem to Marietta Ohio minutes from West Virginia state line the loudest concrete I heard

[@ronaldcurry6264]

Interstate 77 south Washington County Ohio mile marker 12 to mile marker 6 minutes from West Virginia state line the loudest concrete I heard

[@JohnNashvilleProductions]

Sounds like Boston, MA

[@jermaine9451]

Indianapolis Indiana

[@tallmadgeinsanityanimation9005]

I-76 from Akron to Youngstown next?

[@asmrroader72]

Don’t know when I’ll make it up there but I’ll try.

[@ramenaddict1676]

I can fall asleep to rhw whistle noise concrete roads make but even this is too much

[@user-nj3qw5is3q]

in Trenton new jersey theirs a concrete exit on to lalor st off 29

[@zakifarah603]

The ramp from sr 37 to I-70 west in Hebron sounds a bit similar, just not as loud as the sr 29 ramp. Either way, I love the sound

[@asmrroader72]

If I would’ve saw this sooner, I would’ve checked it out as I was just in that area!!

[@zakifarah603]

@@asmrroader72 the sr 37 bridge deck over i-70 sounds pretty loud, very much similar to the ramp in this video. I honestly love the sound as I speed up, it’s satisfying to me!

I love it 😂

I love that sound!

[@Fade2005]

Sounds like Florida bridges

0:14 FDOT!?!?

[@asmrroader72]

It’s a very rare low pitched variant of FDOT.

[@Superfluffydog1321]

Yup.

[@EUROPA_451.]

Bro it sounds interesting tho 😳😳😳

[@ryanmashkevich]

Odot

[@brrraiden3080]

Sounds like I94 zone on Us 421

[@Redeyeevilmunci]

This aslo have this in Illinois Florida and others

[@moonspotter3881]

What causes this sound? Concrete runways also produce this type of sound when aircraft taxi on them. Is it the grooving pattern? Because smooth concrete roads still create a high pitched sound.

[@asmrroader72]

It is the grooves that makes the noise. I’m honestly not sure what kind of noise you’re hearing on ungrooved concrete as it usually doesn’t make a distinct sound. It can be quieter than asphalt but that’s about it.

[@beni2cc]

I'm Houston there's roads that are ungroved that make that noise. My theory is that it's the rebar whistling because of the vibrations.

[@JMH702]

Sounds a bit like California

[@asmrroader72]

I don’t think so. California bridges are mostly longitudinally grooves with very few transverse grooves bridges remaining. The ones that do remain create no particular pitch and sound a lot like longitudinal.

[@JMH702]

@@asmrroader72there’s some that are transverse, look it up

[@palmbeachasmr]

It sounds like Indiana.

[@asmrroader72]

It's actually a low-pitched variant of Florida's grooving. This stuff has also been found on the Coonpath Rd NW, S.R. 188 and U.S. 22 Ramps getting off of U.S. 33 in Lancaster, Ohio.
