Urban Noise - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Plants and trees have been used for years as barriers against traffic and other types of urban noise pollution (Kotzen and English, 2009). Green walls installed outdoors can isolate noise, vibrations and reduce sound penetration. Indeed, the vegetal finish (plants + substrate) reduces noise by reflecting, refracting and absorbing acoustic energy.
Urban Noise: Management of City Noise | Svantek Academy
Urban noise is the unwanted sound that permeates city environments, arising from various human activities and infrastructure. It includes sounds from traffic, construction, industrial activities, and social events.
Noise Pollution: Managing the Challenge of Urban Sounds
2014年5月20日 · With active populations, road traffic, industry, and construction, cities are expectedly noisy places. Still, noise is a leading source of dissatisfaction for city residents. Urban noise affects more than quality of life issue; the level of noise in many cities can cause serious and long-term harm to health,
How to enhance urban noise management: Exploring the …
Unlike objective noise-level data, noise complaints reflect people's feelings and demands regarding the sound environment (Guo et al., 2022) and capture the interplay of real noise, urban morphology, and individual perception (Chen et al., 2024). Recently, noise complaint data has been employed in various applications, including spatial ...
Street-level noise in an urban setting: assessment and contribution to ...
2015年2月28日 · The urban soundscape, which represents the totality of noise in the urban setting, is formed from a wide range of sources. One of the most ubiquitous and least studied of these is street-level (i.e., sidewalk) noise. Mainly associated with vehicular traffic, street level noise is hard to ignore and hard to escape.
Street-level noise in an urban setting: assessment and …
Perhaps the most important contributor to the urban soundscape is street-level sound. Given the ubiquitous exposure to street-level sounds among urban dwellers, and the potential for annoyance and health effects from this noise, strict urban noise control measures for street-level sources of noise are increasingly being implemented.
Machine-based understanding of noise perception in urban …
2024年12月1日 · This study introduces a multi-sensory framework for predicting noise perception, which accurately assesses the large-scale urban noise environment by integrating multiple sensory data. This multimodal approach provides a more comprehensive representation of the synergistic effects of acoustics and visuals.
Noise pollution mitigation and control in urban areas near ...
2024年12月20日 · It is an essential tool in environmental noise assessment and urban planning, allowing stakeholders to understand noise exposure and identify hotspots where noise pollution may be problematic 33 ...
Comparative Diagnosis of the Urban Noise Problem from …
2022年2月28日 · In this paper, we borrow from the “exposure-perception-behavior” theory in environmental psychology, and propose an analytical framework for diagnosing the urban noise problem that integrates the Infrastructural and Social Sensing perspectives.
Noise pollution and annoyance: An urban soundscapes study
Road traffic noise is considered the main source of noise transportation in large urban cities and the most worrisome when it comes to annoyance. Noise pollution can be considered one of the main agents of loss of environmental and life quality in a metropolis and its dissemination pushed the boundaries of industrial facilities, spreading ...
