Classification of Urban Road Traffic Noise based on Sound Energy and Eventfulness Indicators

Applied Sciences, 2020
Noise energetic indicators, like Lden, show good correlations with long term annoyance, but should be supplemented by other parameters describing the sound fluctuations, which are very common in urban areas and negatively impact noise annoyance. Thus, in
