Soundscape design for a residential development: a case study
INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings, 2023A soundscape approach was used for a co-housing development in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. The outcomes are compared and contrasted with a conventional noise impact assessment. In-situ soundwalks were conducted with the co-housing group during daytime and night-time periods, covering locations with varied sounds and future uses.

Designing Soundscapes for Argumentation
Philosophy & Rhetoric, 2018ABSTRACT This article asks if soundscapes are reasonable by inquiring if they can be designed to enhance the capacity for reasoned judgment. Using a normative pragmatic approach to argumentation theory, I demonstrate that soundscapes can be strategically designed to amplify or attenuate obligations, increase or weaken conviction, and ...

Traffic design for soundscape improvements
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2014Different kinds of traffic contribute to urban acoustic environments and therefore have a major impact on urban soundscapes. The noise of traffic depends on several aspects such as traffic management, traffic routing, traffic composition, and infrastructure.

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 ...

Soundscape evaluation based on participatory design
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2023The traditional soundscape assessment method assesses people’s perception of a selected acoustic environment using questionnaires or interviews. However, fewer studies have been done to investigate other methods for methodological triangulation.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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.
