Acoustic comfort at Kyiv metro stations
INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings, 2023Kyiv Metro was opened in 1960 and became the first metro system in Ukraine. From then until the beginning of the 21st century it was developing without considering the acoustic comfort of its passengers and employees. Increased levels of noise and vibration in public transport are mostly ignored, although they are certainly recognized as the reasons ...

Acoustic comfort in living environment
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015As population of aging people growing fast, the need of long-term care facility is also increased. In the living environment of elder people, acoustic comfort has the same importance as thermal comfort and visual comfort. This research is to study the preference of acoustic comfort through the listening evaluation with normal hearing people.

INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings
Acoustic comfort is an essential factor for the quality of built environments and the health of users, influencing well-being and productivity. Often, acoustic solutions are incorporated late in the project, resulting in rework. This paper presents the ODES method, which organizes the application of strategies for acoustic comfort in four stages: (1 ...

Is acoustic comfort underestimated by architects?
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010A survey was carried out among architects and undergraduate students in order to identify their understanding of acoustics. It can be seen that some myths in architectural acoustics are solidly established. Simultaneously, the viewpoint of lay people was also looked into and it was found that their demands are often in opposition to what architects ...

On the definition of acoustic comfort in residential buildings
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017The aim of this study is to explore acoustic comfort in family apartments in Scandinavia, not only regarding standardized acoustic data but also including the users’ perception of their living sound environment. A first approach takes place for the definition of the concept of acoustic comfort, which was rarely defined before and used to be mostly ...

Characterization of an urban area’s acoustical comfort
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1998In this paper a global method to characterize acoustic comfort in urban areas is presented. This method takes into account the relationships between urban forms (shapes, sizes, and material surfaces), the opinions of town-users, and noise descriptors.

On Acoustic Comfort in Urban Transport on Rails
2017An important part of urban transport is performed using rail vehicles that, consequently, represent a major source of urban noise. This noise affects both people inside and outside the vehicle. In the paper we present the results obtained in investigating the acoustic comfort from rail vehicles in urban transportation system. In this respect, there are
