This study aims discover current conditions whether landscape features have sizeable effect soundscape perception, well develop predictive model indicators based acoustics, psychoacoustics, audio features. The results show that selected city’s heartlands generally dominated by (40%) biophonic (36%) sources. identifies significant both affect perception. A is developed identified objective an alternate method derive total mask duration positive sound events. visibility roadways vehicles correlates negatively perception reaffirms road annoyance. However, light do not adversely compared heavy traffic, suggesting tolerance for participants residential settings. Thus, present recommends planners should take into consideration type infrastructure when planning developments.
