The „overall noise assessment“ has recently become increasingly important in the context of authorisation procedures. However, there is no clarity as to what this ‘overall’ means or how the overall should be calculated. As long as the noise...

Sources of climate-friendly and renewable energy are now more important than ever before, simply as a result of global political events. Terms such as energy transition, wind and solar energy, wind turbines and photovoltaics are being discussed in...

In the city of Zurich, the exposure limits for road traffic noise are exceeded on a network of around 230 km. One of the city‘s noise abatement measures is to reduce the speed limit to 30 km/h. As part of a longitudinal study, 1,300 residents were...

Many people feel disturbed by motorcycle noise, and this has repeatedly led to numerous complaints over the years. Various measures have been put forward, such as stricter noise limits, better measurement and control procedures and even driving...

Based on the potential study NRW [10] for an increase of the wind energy, it is shown that the estimation of the highest additional ambient level is significantly overestimated, especially for wind farms. This is shown on the basis of long-term...

The mode of action of the absorber in a sound insulation capsule is analyzed using theoretical models. The result shows that the situation is only incompletely covered by the widely used sound absorption coefficient. Rather, the internal attenuation...

Audible noise caused by electrical discharges on high-voltage overhead lines occurs due to adverse weather conditions and reaches its highest values during precipitation. With the amendment of the Energy Industry Act (EnWG) in connection with the...

On the assessment of noise caused by wind turbines on the basis of long-term average levels – a contribution to the discussion. As chairman of the working group ISO TC43 SC1 WG61, the author of this contribution has dealt with many internationally...

The update of DEGA recommendation 103 „Sound insulation in dwellings – Sound insulation certificate“ (2018) as DEGA guideline 103 “Sound insulation in residential buildings Part 1: Sound insulation classes and increased sound protection”...
