| Abstract Scope |
The behaviour of ambient noise in urban street canyons is conditioned by elements that are not only linked to the noise source, but also to the different materials that make up the facade of buildings. The different materials related to the facades of buildings such as glass, stone and cement mixtures cause highly reverberant environments that increase the level of noise pollution in pedestrian areas. To evaluate these conditions, a 1:10 scale model was used, which was equipped with a linear array of tweeters that simulated the noise produced by a vehicular source circulating on a street and measurements of the sound level on the pedestrian sidewalk. In this work, different materials such as pumice stone, refractory brick and cork wood are related, which, located in 16.7% of the facades of buildings in urban street canyons, can mitigate up to 5.1 dBA in frequency bands between 125 and 500 Hz. |
