“…SENSEable project shows an important influence of anthropic noise in a Mediterranean city center. Anthropic noise levels recorded by sensors highlight critical features of daily sound emission, as also demonstrated elsewhere [14,[19][20][21]. These are potentially dangerous for citizens' health, in the long run, being sometimes beyond the limits allowed by the current law.…”

The concept of urban sustainability and liveability closely depends on multi-level approaches to environmental issues. The ultimate goal in the field of noise management is to involve citizens and facilitate their participation in urban environmental decisions. The SENSEable Pisa project, based on the concept of Real-Time City and Smart City, presents an acoustic urban monitoring system based on a low-cost data acquisition method for a pervasive outdoor noise measurement. The system is based on the use of noise sensors located on private houses in the center of Pisa, which provide a good model for the current acoustic climate of Mediterranean city centers. In this study, SENSEable acquisitions show a strong anthropogenic component not revealed by public strategic maps. The anthropogenic component, commonly known as movida, becomes increasingly critical in Mediterranean cities, therefore, it is necessary to explore methods highlighting this new source and to adopt strategies for the creation of reliable noise pollution maps

“…Instead, locations no. 4 and 5 (Piazza delle Vettovaglie, Piazza Garibaldi), are characterized by loud anthropic noise, as happens in other Italian city centers . In addition, in June people tend to spend more free time outdoors, due to the pleasant climate, meeting in central streets and squares banned to vehicular traffic.…”

“…Many of such studies focus on the negative health effects of traffic noise [8,9]. However, leisure noise is being increasingly recognized as an important challenge in cities with a high number of tourist and cultural offers, where the needs of residents and visitors need to be balanced [10,11], to the extent that the World Health Organization (WHO) has included recommendations on leisure noise in its recent Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region [12].…”

Acoustic pollution has been associated with adverse effects on the health and life expectancy of people, especially when noise exposure happens during the nighttime. With over half of the world population living in urban areas, acoustic pollution is an important concern for city administrators, especially those focused on transportation and leisure noise. Advances in sensor and network technologies made the deployment of Wireless Acoustic Sensor Networks (WASN) possible in cities, which, combined with artificial intelligence (AI), can enable smart services for their citizens. However, the creation of such services often requires structured environmental audio databases to train AI algorithms. This paper reports on an environmental audio dataset of 363 min and 53 s created in a lively area of the Barcelona city center, which targeted traffic and leisure events. This dataset, which is free and publicly available, can provide researchers with real-world acoustic data to help the development and testing of sound monitoring solutions for urban environments.

“…Além de malefícios a saúde, o ruído de tráfego pode influenciar os preços de empreendimentos imobiliários, como estudou Szczepanska et al 2015, que concluíram que a poluição sonora é uma determinante na valorização ou desvalorização do imóvel na Polônia. Já de acordo com Ottoz et al (2018), as cidades europeias foram afetadas por um tipo especifico de poluição sonora advinda de atividades recreativas, em geral, no período noturno nos centros das cidades. Os entrevistados neste estudo relataram que o ruído afeta o sono, a vida cotidiana e a saúde, ressaltando-se ainda a desvalorização e o desprendimento de custos imobiliários para reduzir o problema observado, da poluição sonora.…”

Decorrente da criação da Norma de Desempenho, muitos projetistas têm utilizado as simulações computacionais para realizarem a análise acústica de maneira prévia. O trabalho de conclusão de curso que precede este teve como objetivo comparar os resultados dos ensaios de campo e das simulações computacionais para a avaliação da Diferença Padronizada de Nível Ponderada a 2 m de distância da fachada (D2m,nt,w). A metodologia contempla a comparação de 18 ensaios de campo realizados em paredes de vedação de fachada de edifícios residenciais da região metropolitana do Recife, conforme a literatura de referência, e as simulações com o software Cypecad Mep 2016. Os resultados mostram que apenas 11,11% das paredes foram aprovadas pelos ensaios de campo; enquanto 100% das paredes teriam atingido os critérios mínimos especificados pelas simulações. É possível concluir que os resultados das simulações foram sempre maiores que os resultados dos ensaios de campo para o D2m,nt,w. Da comparação dos resultados, foi obtido que a discrepância variou de 7 a 14 dB. O valor médio desta discrepância representa um fator de correlação igual a 0,67 a ser aplicado nas simulações para que os mesmos fiquem em similaridade com os resultados dos ensaios de campo.
