... that were tested for texture, friction, and noise shortly after construction. Analysis of data obtained from both the in-place and newly constructed texture test sections was combined with information on the state of the practice to develop a process and guidelines for selecting textures for a range of applications and to prepare sample specifications for texturing concrete pavements.

... With respect to general texture types, it was concluded that longitudinal tining and longitudinal diamond grinding and grooving offer the greatest potential for reducing noise while maintaining adequate friction. Skewed variable transverse tine can eliminate objectionable tones and provide noise reduction benefits.

From page 3...
... Various statistical analyses of the texture, friction, and noise data were conducted to distinguish the performance of the various textures and to identify the key factors affecting texture performance. These included SAS ANOVA and Tukey analyses of textures comprising individual sites/locations, SAS ANOVA and regression analyses of 70 test sections (57 existing sections and 13 newly constructed sections)
