The soundscape of waterfront space in mountainous cities (WSMC) can affect people’s physical and mental health. Taking seven WSMCs Chongqing, China, as the study area, this aimed to investigate explore influence spatial characteristics visual smell environments on through a sensewalking approach. results show that evaluations are poor quality, traffic sounds dominant (33%). Among characteristic...

Continuous noise monitoring based on mobile systems could provide a quick feedback to assess the effect of policies implemented by authorities mitigate pollution. The present research verifies that measurements taken along main street and aggregated in time space can accurately estimate levels at static points. As consequence, sensors would be suitable build, continuously update, maps. Furtherm...

Car horns were originally installed in vehicles for safety. However, many urban areas several countries face noise problems related to the use of car and motorbike horns. To propose measures suppress horns, relationships between horn factors including driver awareness behavior, traffic environment, transportation system should be investigated. The present study therefore conducted surveys grasp...

Residents of major cities of the United Arab Emirates are exposed to multiple noise sources originating from road traffic, aircraft flyovers and various industrial activities. Predicting the contribution of each of these sources to public annoyance, and hence relating it to health effects on residents of these cities, is not an easy task because of the complex nature of these sources and their ...

Evidence indicates that exposure to high levels of noise adversely affects human health, and these effects are dependent upon various factors. In hospitals, there are many sources of noise, and high levels exert an impact on patients and staff, increasing both recovery time and stress, respectively. The goal of this pilot study was to develop, implement, and evaluate the effectiveness of a trai...

Therefore, included measurements level, evaluation percentage volume areas; identification correlation level. An EXTECH 407764 sound meter used take for 1 hour 30 minutes o...

Field studies on traffic noise-induced annoyance have predominantly used estimated outside noise levels. We intended to complement existing knowledge with exposure–response relationships that are based precise indoor measurements. Acoustic recordings inside the bedrooms of nightly road and ratings in following morning were obtained from 40 suburban residents (mean age 29.1 years ± 11.7; 26 fema...
