Urban noise model

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974
A model has been developed for predicting median levels of traffic noise in a variety of local conditions. Sound sources are grouped into two categories: major thoroughfares with average daily traffic volume greater than 5000 vehicles are considered individually as line sources with uniform distribution of traffic and all other streets are grouped into

Monitoring urban noise

2020
Today, noise is one of the burning issues affecting the overall quality of everyday life. In order to address the aforementioned issue this book chapter offers an overview of several methods designed to monitor noise pollution in urban areas. In the process of creating cities’ noise maps the traditional measuring methods typically use expensive and ...

Urban noise surveys

Applied Acoustics, 1987
Abstract Despite the large number of urban noise surveys which have been conducted to date, there are considerable weaknesses in the large body of data that such surveys have collected. For example, there are little data available which allow comparison of the acoustic environment of one city, or the noise exposure of its residents, with those of ...

Urban traffic noise

Transportation, 1972
The most important part of it is undoubtedly the recommendations made to member governments. These have been well thought out and ought to be adopted almost without exception. They are prefaced with a description of the aims which public policy ought to have, and in the context of traffic noise control, these aims refer to "seeking a realistic balance ...

Urban noises

Proceedings of the 8th ACM International Symposium on Pervasive Displays, 2019
This workshop is focused on the use of augmented reality to animate and activate graffitis of the city of Palermo. The main goal is to teach and share knowledge in digital art and augmented reality, using an easy learning process to make digital interfaces accessible to different public, ages and goals.

Tits, noise and urban bioacoustics

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2004
Humans, particularly in cities, are noisy. Researchers are only just beginning to identify the implications of an increase in noise for species that communicate acoustically. In a recent paper, Slabbekoorn and Peet show, for the first time, that some birds can respond to anthropogenically elevated noise levels by altering the frequency structure of ...

Nationwide urban noise survey

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978
Most current knowledge about community response to noise exposure is derived from studies of high-level transportation sources. A nationwide urban noise survey was undertaken to study effects associated with more moderate but far more common sorts of noise exposure.

Urban daytime traffic noise prediction models

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2009
An evaluation was made of the acoustic environment generated by an urban highway using in situ measurements. Based on the data collected, a mathematical model was designed for the main sound levels (L (eq), L (10), L (50), and L (90)) as a function of the correlation between sound levels and between the equivalent sound pressure level and traffic ...

Urban noise impact

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1975
Environmental noise data, including 24-hour noise surveys, taken at various urban locations throughout the United States have been compiled and compared. The data were taken from the open literature and also from the files of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
