Lärmbekämpfung

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”...

Talking about stress and working conditions in communication rooms mostly means to talk about ‚noise‘. For the most part this concerns teachers in classrooms or educators in day-nurseries. While following the standards to reduce ‚noise‘, in...

Since 1970, soundscapes have been described using psychoacoustic, psychological, and sociological data and surveys Psychoacoustics describes human perception of sound via hearing and has been an established approach to assessing product noise for...

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are used for a variety of purposes. Especially the industrial or professional use of unmanned aircraft (UA) will lead to an increasing number of possible applications. The steadily rising number of UA raises the...

The focus of this work is on the presentation of initial findings on the future noise situation, especially when operating fleets of technically different air-taxis for passenger transport, because despite the electric drive, propellers, rotors or...
