“…The grid system of the noise maps prepared by computer simulation is an important parameter for the clarity of the noise map. Murphy et al [ 4 ] stated in their study that the generation of noise maps involves the calculation of the noise levels of the respective sources to the receiver points along a systematic grid located on the analyzed area. In the noise modeling process, the smaller the grid spacing, the more detailed calculations in the noise map preparing process are acquired.…”

“…In the research of Farooqi et al [ 3 ], survey analyses were done, and according to the survey results, it was stated that most of the participants exposed to the noise experienced headaches, sleeplessness, hypertension, and stress. Murphy et al [ 4 ] stated that noise negatively affects public health. The World Health Organization [ 1 ] states that noise is effective on sleep, has cardiovascular and metabolic effects, is effective on cognitive impairment, and is effective on hearing loss and tinnitus.…”

“…It is understood that EU member nations’ noise limit values are analyzed as L den ≤ 55 dBA and L night ≤50 dBA. Similarly, Murphy et al [ 4 ] mentioned that in the European Commission report, approximately 1 million people were reported to be exposed to industrial noise exceeding 55 dBA L den . Through using noise indicators, noise levels of receiver points are examined and analyzed at the urban scale.…”

Environmental noise control is necessary for human health and auditory comfort conditions. In this respect, it is required that industrial noise should be kept under control and healthy living spaces should be obtained in residential areas. This paper aims to explain industrial noise control at urban and building scales. In this study, the strategic noise mapping process related to industrial activities in a line with the Environmental Noise Directive (END) was clarified. Besides this, what type of factors are effective in the industrial noise mapping process were defined, and important basic parameters, which are essential in the industrial noise mapping, were detailed. The preparation of the industrial noise mapping process was explained in detail. It was mentioned that the regions exposed to excessive noise should be defined according to the strategic noise map and improvement plans should be performed. Improvement methods that reduce excessive noise in living spaces are clarified and it was explained how the improvement of environmental quality can be acquired. In this regard, this paper gives information on industrial noise mapping and industrial noise control at the urban scale.

“…Europos Sąjungos šalių narių piliečių yra veikiami didesnio nei 55 dBA triukšmo, kai rekomenduotinas paros vidurkis L DVN yra mažesnis nei 55 dBA (European Environment Agency, 2020). Pagrindiniai triukšmo šaltiniai yra kelių, geležinkelių ir oro transportas (Murphy et al, 2020). Skaičiai pastaruoju metu išlieka stabilūs, tačiau situacija vis dar mažai sprendžiama, nors ir buvo iškelti tikslai smarkiai sumažinti triukšmą aplinkoje (European Environment Agency, 2017).…”

Perdirbant padangas, gumos granulės ir metalo pluoštas sėkmingai naudojami pakartotinai, tačiau padangų tekstilės pluošto (PTP) atliekos yra gana didelė problema. Mokslininkai vykdo tyrimus, bandydami šias padangų tekstilės pluošto atliekas, naudoti šiluminei izoliacijai, nes čia matomas didelis jų potencialas. Kadangi šiluminė izoliacija turi artimą ryšį su garso sugertimi, manoma, kad PTP sėkmingai tiktų panaudoti ir triukšmui patalpose mažinti. Tyrimo metodas remiasi ISO 10534-2 standartu, kuriuo būtų nustatytas medžiagos garso sugerties koeficientas α naudojant impedanso vamzdį. Tyrimo metu gauti rezultatai parodė, kad PTP atliekos turi geras garso sugerties savybes, garso sugerties koeficientas, esant žemiems dažniams 250–500 Hz, buvo 0,06–0,52, o esant aukštesniems dažniams – 1000–1600 Hz, sugerties koeficientas varijavo tarp 0,44–0,94. Šios medžiagos naudojimas būtų puiki alternatyva šiuo metu naudojamoms tradicinėms mineralinėms pluoštinėms medžiagoms.

“…To improve the effectiveness of the END, the Directive 2015/996 [24] established the development of the Common Noise aSSessment MethOdS (CNOSSOS-EU), a standardized noise modelling method comparable across all EU MS. The CNOSSOS-EU will come into force during the next round of strategic noise mapping, in 2022 [25].…”

The Impact of Thin Asphalt Layers as a Road Traffic Noise Intervention in an Urban Environment

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Low-noise thin asphalt layers (TALs) are a feasible solution to mitigate road traffic noise in urban environments. Nevertheless, the impacts of this type of noise intervention are reported mostly regarding noise levels, while non-acoustic aspects influencing the population perception are still little-known. This study investigates the implementation of TALs in two streets of Antwerp, Belgium. The effectiveness of the intervention was measured via noise modelling and acoustic measurements of road traffic noise. A reduction of 2.8 dB in noise exposure was observed in Lden and Lnight, while SPB measurements showed decreases up to 5.2 dB on the roadside. The subjective impacts of the TALs were evaluated via self-administered surveys and compared to results from control streets. The annoyance indicators were positively impacted by the TALs implementation, resulting in annoyance levels similar or lower than in the control streets. The TALs did not impact the reported physical complaints, sleep quality, and comfort level to perform activities.
