“…A study of typical holiday villages in Turkey also found that noise mainly comes from various indoor and outdoor facilities. 52 However, there was no significant difference in indoor noise levels between guest rooms and public spaces, indicating that the indoor noise scene of guests and hotel workers was consistent. A total of 26 018 hotel workers were surveyed with depression scores of 84% normal, 13% mild, 1.2% moderate, 0.38% moderately severe, and 0.24% severe.…”

“…The study revealed that star rating, opening time, whether or not the central air conditioner is used, and whether or not the building has been renovated in recent years were all factors that may affect the indoor noise of a certain building. A study of typical holiday villages in Turkey also found that noise mainly comes from various indoor and outdoor facilities 52 . However, there was no significant difference in indoor noise levels between guest rooms and public spaces, indicating that the indoor noise scene of guests and hotel workers was consistent.…”

The noise level is associated with stress, 1 annoyance, 2 sleep disturbance, 3 cardiovascular disease, 4 and impaired cognitive performance, 5 particularly loud noise such as airports and their surroundings, 6,7 traffic road noise, 8,9 urban public activity space, 10 and recreational settings. 11,12 Meanwhile, the general population is exposed to multiple chronic or low-frequency noise sources, such as air conditioner noise and ventilation noise, due to occupational and residential exposure. Long-term exposure to noise in combination with other factors may result in adverse psychological outcomes and worse neuropsychiatric performance. 13,14 Although there are few

“…For example, road traffic noise is generally controlled through the installation of sound barriers, which are widely designed to combine different materials as part of the environment rather than simply serving to reduce noise [8][9]. Özge Gürsoy et al, [10] examine a holiday village to identify noise exposure conditions in outdoor areas. The results reveal the importance of resolving the issue of environmental noise most efficiently and cost-effectively in terms of settlement and planning.…”

The construction of beautiful villages in China is carrying more and more demand for leisure and health care, thus increasing requirements for the quality of the village environment. In this paper, Huanggongwang in Fuyang, Zhejiang Province in China, a typical water-rich village, was selected as the research object to study the sound environment quality by adapting noise mapping and field measurements. A village acoustic simulation model was established by the layout of the villages, roads, and water system; the three-dimensional spatial distribution of sound pressure level was based on actual sound source identification and measurements for sound environment evaluation. The result shows that the combination of the arithmetic mean value method for sound pressure level and noise pollution index approach can better represent the characteristics of sound environment quality compared with traditional noise evaluation standards. The average sound pressure level measured on-site in the village was 62.4 dB(A), and the PN index was 0.83, which reveals the importance of resolving the issue of environmental noise in the villages. Moreover, this evaluation method excludes the chance of actual measurement results. Therefore, it provides a better measure of the quality of the rural sound environment, which serves as a basis for the scientific planning of rural construction.

“…Consequently, it is important to choose the appropriate thermal insulators for realising buildings' thermal comfort and minimize the energy consumption of the Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system. Otherwise, the acoustical insulation is also required due to the increase of the environmental noise [4,5], populations density growth, development of industry, transport, and aviation [6], while the most buildings does not have soundproofing products which is constantly demanded [7]. The acoustical insulation performance is strongly dependent on the physical characteristics of the used materials, observer positions, buildings envelopes design and acoustical properties [8][9][10].…”

The aim of this paper is to study the thermal and acoustical insulation of four different buildings’ envelopes mostly used for residential buildings in Tetouan city. The thermal and the acoustical models were investigated during summer season, while a linear nonmonochromatic source of sound has been placed 1m away from the exterior side of each wall and it is emitted a low-frequency sound waves with a velocity of 200 m/s. The study shows that the double layers of hollow clay brick wall with a medium of air gap presents a good thermal resistance and soundproofing compared to the other walls under study, due to the insulation by air gap with a thickness of 0.06m. Moreover, the homogenous and thick walls are simultaneously performant as thermal and sound insulators.
