“…Socio-economic status, measured through a socio-economic vulnerability index, shows a negative association with noise disturbances. This result is consistent some previous research works that have found higher levels of noise exposure at disadvantaged areas [18], but it differs from other research outcomes also developed in the context of a Spanish city [16].…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the presence of spatial and temporal effects on the calls for noise disturbance service reported to the Local Police of València (Spain) in the time period from 2014 to 2015, and investigate how some socio-demographic and environmental variables affect the noise phenomenon. The analysis is performed at the level of València's boroughs. It has been carried out using a logistic model after dichotomization of the noise incidents variable. The spatial effects consider first and second order neighbours. The temporal effects are included in the model by means of one and two weeks temporal lags. Our model confirms the presence of strong spatio-temporal effects. We also find significant associations between noise incidence and specific age groups, socio-economic status, land uses and recreational activities, among other variables. The results suggest that there is a problem of ``social'' noise in València that is not exclusively a consequence of coexistence between local residents. External factors such as the increasing number of people on the streets during weekend nights or during summer months increase severely the chances of expecting a noise incident.

“…Concerning the factors that may generate noise annoyances among the residents of an urban area, vehicle traffic is largely known as one of the most important [14][15][16]. The only traffic-related variable included in our model did not receive a significant estimation.…”

“…Since air traffic activities has become a tremendous noise in cities, several studies focused on impacts of airport noise and description on how to reduce the noise exposure in populations around the airport [5,6,[10][11][12]14,15,18]. To explore any solutions on the noise abatement procedures around the airport, the scientists used noise mapping with various methods.…”

“…Because the sound source of the research was the sound of aircraft moving linearly on the runway up to a certain height, the sound level measurement used the L eq method as described by such formula. To calculate sound reduction due to the distance factor in an open space, decibel units or Watt/m 2 units were used as shown in Formulas (3)- (5). When using a formula with Watt/m 2 units, the results must be converted to decibel units, using the Formula (4).…”

“…Building orientation without considering environmental acoustics causes a high level of sound received and it could disturb human life [4]. Occupants would be annoyed by the aircraft noise because, based on the regulation and findings of research, the quality standard of noise level on dwelling is 55 dB(A) [4][5][6], 30 dB(A) inside a dwelling at night [7], 50 dB(A) and 40 dB(A) in open window dwelling during daytime and night, respectively [7]. This study focused not only on how the building should be placed on term of orientation toward the runway, but also to what extent the validation of correlation modeling between the orientation angles and noise level received by occupants could be established.…”

Establishing Grounds for Building Orientation Mapping and Validation of Noise Level Correlation Modeling on Aircraft Take-off and Landing

This research highlights correlation modeling between residential buildings orientation toward the runway as noise source and noise level. Many studies used noise mapping to identify noise performance in cities, but none of them discussed building orientation as an effort to reduce noise. This research aims to resolve the noise exceeding threshold of 55 dB for landed residential area. The method used was empirical experiments based on ISO 1996-1 using a 1:1-scaled building block model that was rotatable on its axis on various orientation angles. To examine the difference in sound reduction patterns, measurements were carried out during aircraft take-off and landing in three measurement conditions: outside the building model (OS), inside the model with both closed (CW) and open window (OW). The relative values of sound reduction in every angle were mapped and a Correlation Modeling was then empirically developed and theoretically validated by origin-8 software. As a result, the empirical validation formula deviation averaged only 1.20% and 1.13% during take-off and landing respectively from the actual noise and the theoretical validation. Furthermore, the new modeling was verified as a derivation from the grand theory of inverse square law and could be applied for master plan design.

The long‐term effect of noise pollution is a serious environmental concern for those living near the road due to numerous anthropogenic activities. A calibrated sound level meter was used to assess the noise levels in a semi‐urban area known as Basudevpur Town (16 squares) in March 2021. A sample of the general public (126) was taken and interviewed using a questionnaire to find out how they felt about noise pollution and its impact on their health. A relationship between demographic characteristics and public health issues was discovered in the current investigation. The ANNOVA test was used to determine the association between noise exposure and the probable impacts of this noise exposure on this town, and the Chi‐square test in SPSS 20.0 was utilized to study the relationships between demographic character and irritation. The study reveals that the noise levels were greater than the CPCB's permissible limit for Indian road conditions. The primary source of noise, according to the study, is road traffic noise. The impact of noise pollution on the public's sleep problem was also analyzed. In order to limit noise pollution and its influence on public health, proper administrative planning is necessary.
