This 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 …

The recently reinvigorated field of infrasonics is poised to provide insight into atmospheric
structure and the physics of large atmospheric phenomena, just as seismology has shed …

Road traffic noise propagation through a vegetation belt of limited depth (15m) containing
periodically arranged trees along a road is numerically assessed by means of 3D finite …

Reduction of noise is one of the multiple benefits of building envelope greening measures.
The potential of wall vegetation systems, green roofs, vegetated low screens at roof edges …

We address the challenge of acoustic simulations in three-dimensional (3D) virtual rooms
with parametric source positions, which have applications in virtual/augmented reality, game …

Economic unit values of soundscape/acoustic effects have been based on changes in the
number of annoyed persons or on decibel changes. The normal procedure has been the …

This book gives a broad overview of research on sound simulation driven by a variety of
applications. Vibrating objects produce sound, which then propagates through a medium …

An efficient numerical method, referred to as the auxiliary differential equation (ADE)
method, is proposed to compute convolutions between relaxation functions and acoustic …

As part of a research effort towards greener aviation, this study focuses on the noise impact
of aircraft operations around major airports. First, a pre-existing aircraft noise prediction …

The sound environment in urban areas is complex, as caused by many sources of sound
and influenced by a variety of acoustic propagation effects. In order to combat noise and …
