Sound fields near building facades: comparison of finite and semi-infinite reflectors on a rigid ground plane [PDF]
The sound field in front of, and close to a building facade is relevant to the measurement and prediction of environmental noise and sound insulation. For simplicity it is often assumed that the facade can be treated as a semi-infinite reflector, however
