Noise abatement in urban areas
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999Two studies on noise abatement in urban areas, performed for the Dutch Ministerie of Transport (SSZ program), are presented. The first is a feasibility study on noise reduction of a range of vehicles. Buses and lorries were found to have comparable noise levels, whereas delivery vans and taxis were found to be much quieter.

American Ethnologist, 2021
ABSTRACTDuring Taiwan's transition from authoritarian rule to liberal governance in the 1970s–80s, the government introduced a noise‐control system that uses technological instruments to manage citizens’ everyday noise problems. Rather than reducing noise problems, however, the system has amplified the disparity between a sound that is heard and one ...

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.

High annoyance urban noise masking
2017 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Signal and Image Processing (ICSIP), 2017Urban noise pollution is a growing concern worldwide as a cost of rapid economic growth and development. It affects and harms the human activity and health which brings serious annoyance to daily life. Noise masking technology is one of the efficient solutions to reduce the noise-induced annoyance.

Noise is responsible for cochlear and general damages. Hearing loss and tinnitus greatly depend on sound intensity and duration. Short-duration sound of sufficient intensity (gunshot or explosion) will not be described because they are not currently encountered in our normal urban environment.

Occupational noise in urban buses
International Journal of Industrial Ergonomics, 2006Abstract The noise level environment for Brazilian urban bus drivers (city of Curitiba) was examined. Noise levels were measured in 3 types of buses: (1) bi-articulated, (2) speedy, and (3) feeder, 20 buses of each type. Bi-articulated buses are formed by three cars and two hinges, and operate in exclusive lanes, where cars are not allowed. They stop

Noise Control in Urban Planning
Journal of the Urban Planning and Development Division, 1973The impact of noise upon the health and well-being of the population is described. Noise represents a major environmental problem capable of being a nuisance or a hazard to the population. A method for appraising the implicated health effects of noise is shown.

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 ...
