This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As industrial technology advances, man-made noise has increasingly contributed to natural soundscapes. To predict how anthropogenic noise can affect natural environments, engineers build acoustic models over a given terrain; however, many current models are not compatible with common Geographic Information System (GIS) software and become outdated due to software version updates, or are written as proprietary packages unavailable to park management. The goal of this study was to create a true open source outdoor sound propagation model compatible with (but not dependent on) outside GIS software. The model was developed using algorithms from ISO 9613-2, an international standard for attenuation of sound during propagation outdoors. The standard accounts for uneven terrain, atmospheric absorption, screening, wind effects, and ground effects; however, the scope of this thesis is limited to the initial three attenuation factors. Geometric and atmospheric attenuation were directly translatable to a three-dimensional terrain. Additional software was developed in order to translate the two-dimensional screening algorithms for simple terrains to three-dimensional complex terrains. Given sound source inputs and locations over an input Digital Elevation Map, GIS compatible file types of spatially explicit sound pressure level predictions were produced by this model. The model was tested using simple simulated terrains of known ISO 9613-2 cases: one barrier and two barriers. Additionally, the model produced preliminary results using real terrain data and natural gas compressor noise as the sound source. Sound maps were displayed over satellite imagery of the sound pressure level data, and a correlation of visitor acceptability to the sound. The results produced by this work demonstrate a preliminary version of an open-source outdoor sound predictive tool with the capability of mapping visitor experience.

Download or read book Predicting Outdoor Sound written by Keith Attenborough and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-03-07 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of Predicting Outdoor Sound is an up-to-date reference on the propagation of sound close to the ground and its prediction. New content includes comparisons between predictions and data for road traffic, railway and wind turbine noise; descriptions of source characteristics in the HARMONOISE model; propagation over rough seas, parallel low walls, and lattices; outlines of numerical methods; gabion (caged stones) and sonic crystal noise barriers; meteorological effects on noise barrier performance; and the prediction requirements for auralization. The book brings together relevant theories, prediction schemes, and data, thereby providing a basis for determining what model or scheme might be applicable for any situation. It also offers a background on useful analytical approximations and the restrictions, as well as difficulties and limitations associated with engineering prediction schemes. The text should be of considerable interest to researchers in outdoor sound propagation and, more generally, it should provide a comprehensive primer on the topic for lecturers, consultants and students in acoustics and noise control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pershing II missile elimination noise measurements were used as the basis for comparing three noise prediction programs' ground-to-ground propagation modeling approaches. The effects of atmospheric refraction, atmospheric absorption and ground impedance are considered. The noise models were compared because they are currently in use, in different venues, for environmental noise propagation modeling. The respective strong points of each model are emphasized. The results are used to delineate the needs for development of a model which produces both rapid and physically detailed predictions.

Book excerpt: This essential book introduces the concept of nD modelling, which takes the theory of computer modelling of the built environment to n dimensions. nD modelling utilizes a decision support tool for systematic assessment and comparison between various design parameters such as cost, accessibility, maintainability, sustainability, crime, energy, whole life costing, acoustics and scheduling among others. Constructing the Future is a comprehensive book which provides a global perspective on the concept of nD modelling and examines its impact on construction, from development to application. The text offers a critique of competing views that seek to justify (or ignore) the role of nD modelling in the future of construction as well as describing developments in this area which are already happening worldwide. Presenting a thorough critique of competing views as well as providing guidance on best practice, Constructing the Future is a bold, well-grounded and illustrated title introducing construction management professionals and researchers to this exciting new development in the quest for a single building and product model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several years, many investigators interested in the effects of man-made sounds on animals have come to realize that there is much to gain from studying the broader literature on hearing sound and the effects of sound as well as data from the effects on humans. It has also become clear that knowledge of the effects of sound on one group of animals (e.g., birds or frogs) can guide studies on other groups (e.g., marine mammals or fishes) and that a review of all such studies together would be very useful to get a better understanding of the general principles and underlying cochlear and cognitive mechanisms that explain damage, disturbance, and deterrence across taxa. The purpose of this volume, then, is to provide a comprehensive review of the effects of man-made sounds on animals, with the goal of fulfilling two major needs. First, it was thought to be important to bring together data on sound and bioacoustics that have implications across all taxa (including humans) so that such information is generally available to the community of scholars interested in the effects of sound. This is done in Chaps. 2-5. Second, in Chaps. 6-10, the volume brings together what is known about the effects of sound on diverse vertebrate taxa so that investigators with interests in specific groups can learn from the data and experimental approaches from other species. Put another way, having an overview of the similarities and discrepancies among various animal groups and insight into the “how and why” will benefit the overall conceptual understanding, applications in society, and all future research.

Book excerpt: Acoustics and Noise Control provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction to the principles and practice of acoustics and noise control. Since the last edition was published in 1996 there have been many changes and additions to standards, laws and regulations, codes of practice relating to noise, and in noise measurement techniques and noise control technology so this new edition has been fully revised and updated throughout. The book assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and requires only a basic knowledge of mathematics and physics. There are worked examples in the text to aid understanding and a range of experiments help students use complicated apparatus. Thoroughly revised to cover the latest changes in standards, codes of practice and legislation, this new edition covers much of the Institute of Acoustics Diploma syllabus and has an increased emphasis on the legal issues relating to noise control.
