It is difficult to be specific because busy street traffic and quiet radio are not standard volumes of sound.

However, a quiet radio - at around a "normal" conversation level is 60 decibels (dB). A busy street is can range from the low 70 to high 80 dB. Let us say 80 dB.

The difference is 20 dB = 2 Bels. This means the street is 10^2 = 100 times as loud.
