It is accepted that noise pollution has a major impact on health, such as physical, physiological, psychological and performance related effects, all over the world. This study aims to evaluate noise pollution in four urban parks located in Sanandaj City, Iran and to zone it in GIS environment. Sound pressure level (SPL) and maximum sound level (Lmax) were measured at 45 points (each point was ...

the study was conducted on a group of 90 traffic policemen aged 20-50 years and working in and around patiala district to assess their knowledge, attitude, and practices toward the ill effects caused by traffic noise on health. the subjects were required to fill up a questionnaire regarding their self‑assessment of hearing ability, noise‑related attitudes, and the use of personal protective equ...

background noise pollution causes of apoptosis in germinal cells of testes. this study investigated the effects of honey and vitamin e administration on the process of apoptosis in cells of the germinal testis of rats exposed to noise stress. material and methods in this study, 24 male wistar rats randomly grouped as: 1 (honey + noise stress), 2 (vitamin e + noise stress) 3 (noise stress) and g...

this paper is mainly focused on noise pollution problems related to the use of wind turbines. the installed turbines are vestas v52 and the farm map under study is a typical rural area in south italy, in which a wind farm has been recently installed and made operative. since the area is rural and the number of vehicles per hour is negligible, noise emitted by roads does not affect the predictio...

in many active noise control (anc) applications, an online secondary pathmodelling method that uses a white noise as a training signal is required. this paperproposes a new feedback anc system. here we modified both the fxlms and thevss-lms algorithms to raised noise attenuation and modelling accuracy for theoverall system. the proposed algorithm stops injection of the white noise at theoptimum...

Noise pollution is a novel, widespread environmental force that has recently been shown to alter the behaviour and distribution of birds and other vertebrates, yet whether noise has cumulative, community-level consequences by changing critical ecological services is unknown. Herein, we examined the effects of noise pollution on pollination and seed dispersal and seedling establishment within a ...

acoustic experimental data of irib (islamic republic of iran broadcasting) server room was taken to measure the acoustic noise characteristics of frequency and sound pressure level (spl). the purposes of this paper are measuring the noise pollution and its evaluation through the regulations. the measurements were taken in two stages. the first one was taken at 10 points by sound investigator 22...
