Assessing the impact of building shape on aircraft noise attenuation
Comparison between geometrical acoustics simulation and in-situ measurements
Analyzing the impact of aircraft noise on urban areas requires specific consideration of sound propagation over long distances, which is not typically covered by tools designed for indoor acoustics. Although it is unclear to what extent existing parametric tools that combine 3D m

Assessing the influence of street canyon shape on aircraft noise
Results from measurements in courtyards near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
Aircraft noise is a major stressor for communities in the vicinity of airports. Aircraft noise prediction models omit the built environment, based on an implicit assumption that the impact of buildings on the propagation of aircraft noise is neglectable. In this article a study i

This study aims to evaluate the impact of different urban building geometries (six courtyards, two canyons, two slabs) on heat mitigation and aircraft noise attenuation, in order to support an evidence-based retrofit plan for future airport neighborhoods. Using ’Pachyderm + ENVI-

Determining causes of variance in ground-level aircraft noise
Combining in-situ noise and weather measurements with spatial aircraft data
Aircraft are a source of noise pollution in areas surrounding airports. Buildings shield or amplify local sound levels, albeit that the level of shielding varies considerably. The sound pressure levels reaching ground receivers in the built environment depend on flight position r

Applying vertical greening systems to reduce traffic noise in outdoor environments
Overview of key design parameters and research methods
Vertical greening can be used to absorb and scatter sound, which may reduce noise levels in street canyons. In this paper, a literature review is presented, which combines results and methods from over 40 individual studies. The article describes the guiding principles behind the

A scale model approach to simulate aircraft noise in street canyons
A comparison between in-situ and laboratory measurements
Aircraft noise is a major source of noise pollution in areas close to airports. Previous studies showed that the design of the urban and architectural context affects local sound levels. Due to surface reflections and edge diffraction, sound levels are reduced or amplified, depen

Assessing the influence of street canyon shape on aircraft noise
Results from measurements in courtyards near Amsterdam Schiphol Airport
Aircraft noise prediction models traditionally omit buildings to optimize speed. Buildings and vertical surfaces scatter and reflect incident sound, affecting sound levels around buildings and within streets. Previous studies showed the impact of buildings on aircraft noise, base
