Experiments to develop soundscape design methods.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2008A proposed soundscape design method to evaluate acoustical impacts of planning and building projects on the surrounding community as a way to work toward net zero noise impacts is summarized. The concept of net zero impacts is borrowed from ecological planning where buildings are designed to produce as much energy as they use.

Educating for soundscape design
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2013The development of standardization on soundscapes leads to produce the need of experts and designers of acoustic spaces that be educated in a wide cultural and technological base. Although there is nothing new for well educated acousticians, we cannot forget that people involved in architectural or noise control problems are not always acousticians ...

From understanding to designing soundscapes
Frontiers of Architecture and Civil Engineering in China, 2010Soundscape represents a step change in the field of environmental acoustics in that it combines physical, social, and psychological approaches. Although the term soundscape was introduced in the 1960s, significant attention to it has mainly been paid in the last decade or so in the community of environmental acoustics by researchers and recently by ...

Soundscape design applications for transportation noise.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009Three case studies are presented that demonstrate soundscape methods for assessing noise impacts and proposed mitigation strategies for train, traffic, and rail noise impacts. Comparisons among time average measures short term measurements of specific acoustic events are presented.

Towards acoustic indicators for soundscape design
2014Scientific research on how people perceive, experience or understand the acoustic environment as a whole (i.e., soundscape) is still in development, both with regards to acoustic properties, as wel ...

Contextual design of soundscapes: How to
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019This paper will be discussed some aspects to be considered in the contextual design of soundscapes in contrast with the classical acoustic design. Aspects as: perception in base of cultural background, perception as a multisensorial integration, attention versus boredom, expectation versus deception, soundscape versus landscape, real versus virtual ...

Operating room soundscape design intervention study
INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference ProceedingsNoise levels in a typical Operating Room are often well beyond the recommended 45dB for a typical OR environment. Due to stringent cleanability requirements in hospitals, there are limited finishes that can be used in these rooms. Researchers from Gresham Smith and Siebein Acoustic are currently engaged in a research project to investigate how the ...

Acoustic Objectives for Designed or Managed Soundscapes
Acoustic Ecology Review, 2023This paper describes acoustic objectives for designed and managed soundscapes, and suggests that these be called "Proposed Acoustic Environments". These acoustic objectives need to be defined on the basis of the information content of the sound, not, as is dominant in conventional noise abatement and control assessments, on the level of the sound.

Community design with soundscape in mind
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005Community standards for sound are usually defined by limits on noise emitters. These limits may be absolute in level, or relative to a background level. Most often a limit is given as an overall A-weighted level. Occasionally, limits are placed on octave band spectrum levels or on tonal content.
