Abstract:The civil security sirens are used by the authorities in a wide range of countries to signal an imminent or ongoing threat. Even if the emitted sound level by the sirens is known, it is nevertheless difficult to evaluate their audibility across a given zone, especially in complex urban environments. An experimental protocol has been deployed around a siren installed in a city in the south of France to assess its audibility perceptually and through modelling. This protocol relies on (1) sound level measurements… Show more
