Investigation of Ways to Reduce Road Traffic Noise of Apartment Complexes Using Computer Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present study, computer simulations were carried out using Sound Plan in order to investigate whether road traffic noise levels in two apartment complexes were less than the outdoor noise criteria [65 dB(A)] The sound isolation tunnel was found to be most effective way for noise reduction in the two apartment complexes, although they each have different building arrangements and road traffic. A noise barrier with a height of more than 12 m was required to meet the outdoor noise criteria in apartment complex A. The continuous noise barrier with a height of more than 10 m and enough distance from the road traffic were required in apartment complex B.
