Road traffic noise is one of the principal sources of noise annoyance in residential buildings. In practice, noise assessment is predominantly based on A-weighted outdoor sound pressure levels, although perceived noise exposure is largely determined...

Modern open-air sound reinforcement systems often consist of line arrays, delay lines and subwoofer arrays whose frequency-dependent directivity is essential for the resulting sound immissions in the surrounding area. Conventional environmental...

"Sell and Buy Quiet" tackles noise reduction at source: manufacturers should offer quieter products, and buyers should deliberately select them. This article explains why reliable, comparable and understandable noise emission data and noise labels...

Synergistic noise abatement – the integration of noise reduction, air quality protection, and climate protection – constitutes a strategic approach to the further development of noise reduction planning. Synergistic noise protection is intended...

Continuous environmental noise monitoring is becoming increasingly important due to urbanization, large-scale infrastructure projects, and the expansion of renewable energy systems. At the same time, complex acoustic environments with overlapping...

For the immission control assessment of sports facilities with pure or mixed operations involving tennis, padel, or pickleball, a calculation method may be used to determine the expected noise immissions in neighboring areas. This method was...

The emergence of the modern European city led to an intensification of the noise discourse. On the basis of the radically changing phonetic sphere, questions of urban development, cultural and civilization criticism, but also social and economic...

The increasing use of covert roadside measurement systems requires harmonisation with scientifically standardised noise measurements. This study investigates the systematic deviation of the sound pressure levels recorded there from measurements...

In the recreational sector, in addition to tennis courts, padel and pickleball courts are increasingly being realized either separately or in various combinations and construction types. Especially in more complex designs, which according to...
