Current emission factors used in the Dutch implementation of CNOSSOS are based on measurements from campaigns conducted approximately 17 and 30 years ago. Road vehicles have changed in the meantime, and these values are no longer representative for the current vehicle fleet in the Netherlands. To address this, new measurements were conducted in 2020 to determine updated emission values for...

Assessment of environmental noise emissions from football stadiums is a complex task due to dynamically varying crowd noise and the contribution of high-power sound reinforcement systems. Reliable prediction of stadium-related environmental noise requires source characterization based on real measurement data and properly calibrated calculation models.This study presents a measurement-based...

The objective of the project MASANOM is to automatically plot noise maps with georeferenced data sent from low-budget autonomous noise measurements stations installed in low-background noise vehicles riding around the city. This method reduces significantly the cost of generating noise maps, thus, it is specially relevant for small cities or developing countries.However, there are several...

Noise maps of individual flights conventionally show contours of A-weighted levels: they mark where a given exposure is exceeded, but not how the noise is perceived nor how many people are affected. To move beyond this, the aircraft noise simulation model sonAIR was extended with the psychoacoustic single-event metrics Effective Perceived Noise Level (EPNL) and Zwicker's loudness, and with...

Potential environmental noise from future transportation expansion, driven by urbanization and traffic growth, poses significant risks to human health, making it urgent to predict and quantify. In contrast, urban parks serve as important spaces for escaping the increasingly noisy urban environment. Previous studies have applied the Tranquillity Rating Prediction Tool (TRAPT), integrating...
