Never thought about it, but I don't think so. The noise levels are not additive; the loudest thing sets the stage and the other loud things fall in underneath it.
In other words, if you were watching the shuttle take off at 180 dB you would not be affected or even notice the fighter jet taking off in the background at 150 dB.
My thought would be 150 dB is 150 dB no matter how many cars are making that noise level.
