REDUCTION OF NOISE BY MULTIPLE NOISE BARRIERS

REDUCTION DE BRUIT PAR DES ECRANS ACOUSTIQUES MULTIPLES

It is shown that there are still factors to be studied concerning the diffraction of sound by noise barriers. As an example two noise barriers, placed parallel between a source and a receiver, are examined. It is shown that this configuration can lead to an acoustical advantage which is not unimportant. For the covering abstract of the not unimportant. /TRRL/
