    Strategic noise maps based on sound emission and propagation modelling help identify overexposed areas using weighted annual average noise level indicators such as Lden and Lnight. While providing large-scale, objective data to plan noise mitigation strategies, acoustic metrics retrieved from strategic noise maps can oversimplify and downplay characteristics of the acoustic environment linked...

    In the dense modern cities it is very common that multiple noise sources occur at the same time. The total annoyance of all of them is related to the annoyance of each type of noise itself. However, the annoyance of the one type of noise presented alone can differ from the same noise presented in the richer context. To investigate this phenomenon road, tram and aircraft noise were presented to...

    In 2023, the convenor of ISO/TC43/SC1/WG45 on the assessment of environmental noise (ISO 1996) was approached initially regarding whether pickleball noise had come to the attention of this group. This developed into a request for information on how pickleball and the related padel sport are dealt with around the world, and the need for international guidance on how to assess it. Both...

  4. 3929. Acoustic effectiveness of the noise barrier: evidence from a phased construction through a multi-metric assessment (FA2026/358)

    Noise barriers have been widely constructed as a common measure for mitigating road traffic noise. However, their effectiveness has often been evaluated primarily in terms of sound pressure level reduction, using LAeq,15 min. and the estimated reduction using simulated values, with less attention given to other acoustic characteristics or long-term performance. To address this gap, this study...

  5. 3930. Low-Frequency Noise Complaints in Styria: A Project-Based Assessment of Selected Cases Using DIN 45680 and Statistical Hearing-Threshold Criteria (FA2026/745)
    Florian Lackner (Office of the Styrian Government)

    A05 Environmental Acoustics

    Since 2021, the Styrian provincial authority has received an increasing number of complaints concerning low-frequency noise immissions. By March 2024, 46 complaints had been registered, of which eight cases were investigated in detail through night-time third-octave-band measurements following DIN 45680. A-weighted sound pressure levels inside affected dwellings were typically below 15 dB,...
