Acoustic comfort evaluation in urban open public spaces
W Yang, J Kang - Applied acoustics, 2005 - Elsevier
This paper presents the results of an intensive questionnaire survey and objective
measurements on soundscape, aiming at the evaluation of acoustic comfort in urban open
public spaces. From summer 2001 to spring 2002, 9200 interviews were made for four
seasons in 14 urban open public spaces across Europe. The results suggest that the
subjective evaluation of the sound level generally relates well with the mean Leq, especially
when the sound level is below a certain level, which is 73 dBA on the basis of this study …
