NOISE PROPAGATION IN CELLULAR URBAN AND INDUSTRIAL SPACES

THE EFFECT OF MULTIPLE BARRIERS ON THE PROPAGATION OF NOISE IN URBAN AND INDUSTRIAL ENVIRONMENTS IS DESCRIBED BY A CELL MODEL. THE CELL BOUNDARIES ARE FORMED BY BUILDINGS, WALLS, MACHINERY, OR ARRAYS OF PIPES. EACH CELL CONTAINS NOISE SOURCES SUCH AS VEHICLES OR MACHINES. THE NOISE FIELD BOTH WITHIN AND OUTSIDE THE SOURCE REGION IS DISCUSSED. A COMPARISON WITH THE RESULTS OF PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS SHOWS THAT THE CELL MODEL CORRECTLY PREDICTS THE RESIDUAL BACKGROUND LEVEL IN TRAFFIC-FREE ZONES IN URBAN AREAS.
