The Difference

<strong>Aim:</strong> The aim of this study is to design noise barrier shapes and to investigate its effectiveness in reducing traffic noise at one public school in Indonesia. <strong>Methodology and Results:</strong> Two types of barriers were designed on a laboratory scale using plywood materials and the noise level was measured using Noise Analyzer Briiel and Kjaer Type 2250. Noise reduction was analyzed by using the Insertion Loss method based on the difference of the noise level before and after implementing the barrier. The results show that the barrier Type II with a length of 200 cm, a receiver height of 30 cm, and a curved shape of 45° angle (Type L) is more effective in reducing the noise than the other variation of barrier shape and length. Barrier Type L (Type II) can reduce the noise at high frequency between 1–8 kHz with an Insertion Loss value of 6.9–27.9 dB. <strong>Conclusion, significance and impact study:</strong> The noise barrier Type II, with specifications of 20 m length, 3 m height, and barrier material of reinforced concrete, is recommended to be used at the high school to reduce the road traffic noise.

Balcony acoustic treatments can be demonstrated to provide important benefits in reducing road traffic noise within the balcony space and consequently internally for any adjacent room. The actual effect on road traffic noise is derived from a multitude of variables that can be broadly categorized into (a) acoustical and (b) geometrical for two distinct propagation volumes being (i) the street space, and (ii) the balcony space. A series of recent research activities in this area has incorporated the use of a combined image and diffuse source model, which can be used to predict the effect of balconies on road traffic noise for large number of scenarios. This paper investigates and presents a method and capability to summarize predictive data into user friendly guidelines aimed for use by acoustical professionals and architects and possible implementation in building design policies for environmental noise. The paper concludes with a presentation of the likely format of a potential design guide.

Sonic Crystals

Noise barriers are the most widespread solution to mitigate noise produced by the continuous growth of vehicular traffic, thus reducing the large number of people exposed to it and avoiding unpleasant effects on health. However, conventional noise barriers present the well-known issues related to the diffraction at the edges which reduces the net insertion loss, to the reflection of sound energy in the opposite direction, and to the complaints of citizens due to the reduction of field of view, natural light, and air flow. In order to avoid these shortcomings and maximize noise abatement, recent research has moved toward the development of sonic crystals as noise barriers. A previous review found in the literature was focused on the theoretical aspects of the propagation of sound through crystals. The present work on the other hand reviews the latest studies concerning the practical application of sonic crystal as noise barriers, especially for road traffic noise mitigation. The paper explores and compares the latest developments reported in the scientific literature, focused on integrating Bragg’s law properties with other mitigation effects such as hollow scatterers, wooden or recycled materials, or porous coating. These solutions could increase the insertion loss and frequency band gap, while inserting the noise mitigation action in a green and circular economy. The pros and cons of sonic crystal barriers will also be discussed, with the aim of finding the best solution that is actually viable, as well as stimulating future research on the aspects requiring improvement.

Analytical and numerical methods of modelling the acoustic performance of road traffic noise barriers are discussed, in particular the solution of the wave equation using boundary elements. Results are presented for a range of barrier profiles in the form of Insertion Loss spectra and the mean Insertion Loss for a broad band source characteristic of road traffic noise averaged over a range of representative receiver positions. The performance of barriers comprising multiple screens is considered. Comparison is made with the results of experimental modelling.
