Using natural means to reduce surface transport noise during propagation outdoors

Abstract: a b s t r a c tThis paper reviews ways of reducing surface transport noise by natural means. The noise abatement solutions of interest can be easily (visually) incorporated in the landscape or help with greening the (sub)urban environment. They include vegetated surfaces (applied to faces or tops of noise walls and on buildings' façades and roofs), caged piles of stones (gabions), vegetation belts (tree belts, shrub zones and hedges), earth berms and various ways of exploiting ground-surface-related effects.

“…O isolamento de fachada de boa qualidade pode reduzir suficientemente o ruído externo; enquanto as vedações verticais internas atenuam o ruído produzido entre apartamentos adjacentes, utilizando técnicas de construção com níveis de desempenho adequados para cada ambiente (SILVA JR.; SILVA, 2014; VAN RENTERGHEM et al, 2015;MATOSKI;RIBEIRO, 2016).…”
