A “bonus” of 5 dB has been applied to railway noise in most European Union (EU) countries, e.g. Austria, Germany, France and Sweden. The reason for this is that the majority of international and Swedish studies show that railway noise is less annoying than road traffic noise and aircraft noise (Miedema & Oudshoorn 2001; EU position paper 2002). According to the meta-analysis (Miedema & Oudshoor...

The impressive growth of the aviation industry and number flights entail several environmental repercussions, such as increased aircraft noise emissions. With worrying complaints from communities around airports comes also distrust in numerical models used for prediction. In this study, we compare ‘Dutch model’ predictions to measured values NOise MOnitoring System (NOMOS) Amsterdam Airport Sch...

Noise pollution has negative health consequences, which becomes increasingly relevant with rapid urbanization. In low- and middle-income countries research on effects of noise is hampered by scarce exposure data maps. this study, we developed land use regression (LUR) models to assess spatial variability community in the Western Region São Paulo, Brazil.We measured outdoor levels continuously a...

Background: Evidence for effects of transportation noise on mental health remains scarce, mainly due to a lack high quality studies. Meanwhile, psychiatric diseases are among the most prevalent non-communicable worldwide, and suicide as mortality outcome presents pressing public issue. The aim this study is investigate association between suicide, while adjusting air pollution. Methods: Road tr...

The majority of people in the European Union is exposed to environmental sound between 50 and 60 dBA,Lden[1]. General reduction of sound levels in this intensity range is difficult to achieve by classical acoustic means and nonacoustic factors play an important role in this exposure range. Furthermore, the annoying properties of sounds with the same intensity can vary widely and are not conside...

Low-noise thin asphalt layers (TALs) are a feasible solution to mitigate road traffic noise in urban environments. Nevertheless, the impacts of this type intervention reported mostly regarding levels, while non-acoustic aspects influencing population perception still little-known. This study investigates implementation TALs two streets Antwerp, Belgium. The effectiveness was measured via modell...
