A Review of Residential Balconies with Road Traffic Noise
نویسندگان
چکیده
The acoustics of residential balcony spaces in the presence of road traffic noise has been investigated by several authors over a period of several decades. However it would appear there remains an absence of a simple and yet reliable method to predict the acoustics of balcony spaces. There are two primary elements requiring consideration. The first element is to predict road traffic noise levels spatially across the balcony for the function of outdoor noise criteria compliance. The second element is to predict the road traffic noise level on the external facade of the room behind the balcony to assist in the design of facade sound isolation requirements. This paper reviews the methods and results of the key literature available on the acoustic properties of residential balconies in the presence of road traffic noise.

متن کاملLinking Traffic Noise, Noise Annoyance and Life Satisfaction: A Case Study
The primary purpose of this study was to explore the link between rail and road traffic noise and overall life satisfaction. While the negative relationship between residential satisfaction and traffic noise is relatively well-established, much less is known about the effect of traffic noise on overall life satisfaction. Based on results of previous studies, we propose a model that links object...
متن کاملTransportation noise and annoyance related to road traffic in the French RECORD study
Road traffic and related noise is a major source of annoyance and impairment to health in urban areas. Many areas exposed to road traffic noise are also exposed to rail and air traffic noise. The resulting annoyance may depend on individual/neighborhood socio-demographic factors. Nevertheless, few studies have taken into account the confounding or modifying factors in the relationship between t...
