Noise in the Urban Environment
Journal of the Urban Planning and Development Division, 1975Noise has so permeated and increased in urban environments, that to counter it for the sake of public health, governments and municipalities are limiting the output of the various sources. All means of transportation are being noise regulated, and some progress has already been made; but transportation is the city's circulatory system, and how its net ...

Investigation and analysis of urban noise for sustainability
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2008The concept of urban sustainability involves complex issues such as civil services, social participation, resilience, productivity, health, and development into a multilevel approach of environmental, social, and productivity sectors. Viewing environmental noise as part of urban dynamics is essential.

Evaluation of Noise Pollution in Urban Parks
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2006The present study provides an evaluation of noise pollution in six Urban Parks located in the city of Curitiba, Brazil. Equivalent noise levels (L(eq)) were measured in 303 points (each point measured during 3 min) spread throughout the Parks. Measured values were confronted with local legislation (Law 10625) allowed limits, and the Parks were thus ...

3D noise mapping in urban areas
International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 2008Noise mapping is the process of determining and visualizing noise impact on the environment in order to support environmental policies. Currently most noise impact studies are based on a 2D approach. The 3D output of noise simulation software is processed and visualized in 2D and combined with 2D topographical and other data, such as population ...

Current levels of noise in an urban environment
Applied Ergonomics, 1973In 1961, the International Organization for Standardization prescribed upper tolerance limits for noise generated out-of-doors in residential districts. Between 1963 and 1970, vehicular traffic in the UK increased in volume by approximately 40%. This paper describes studies made throughout 1971 in which both peak and ambient noise-levels prevailing ...

Birds and Anthropogenic Noise: Are Urban Songs Adaptive?
The American Naturalist, 2010In cities with intense low-frequency traffic noise, birds have been observed to sing louder and at a higher pitch. Several studies argue that higher song pitch is an adaptation to reduce masking from noise, and it has even been suggested that the song divergence between urban and nonurban songs might lead to reproductive isolation.

Urban Noise – A Need for Acoustic Planning
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2001The noise status of growing urban centres of the country are very much required to develop acoustic design and planning guidelines for various land use classification. An attempt in this direction has been made by measuring noise equivalent levels for cities like Delhi, Jamshedpur, Dehradun and Nagpur. The choice of Ldn (Day-Night noise level) which is

Noise belongs to the severest environmental impairments in towns, with road traffic being the most annoying noise source. The reduction of these impairments and the precaution against new noise impacts is an important task of the communities. However, many of the potential abatement measures are not in the responsibility of the communities.

Determination of the noise impact range of urban air mobility in urban areas using noise hemisphere
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of AmericaThe noise problem associated with the introduction of urban air mobility (UAM) is a critical challenge that must be addressed. Currently, noise evaluation methods and standards for UAM are lacking. The present study, as an initial step towards establishing UAM noise evaluation criteria, aims to analyze the noise impact range based on actual UAM noise ...
