Abstract:

This thesis concerns the modelling of sound propagation in an urban environment. For most of the thesis a point source of sound source is assumed, and both 2D and 3D geometries are considered. Buildings are modelled as rigid blocks, with the effects of surface inhomogeneities neglected. In the time-harmonic case, assuming that the wavelength is short compared to typical lengthscales of the domain (street widths and lengths), ray theory is used to derive estimates for the time-averaged acoustic power flows through a network of interconnecting streets in the form of integrals over ray angles.

Abstract:

The licentiate thesis Designing with Urban Sound explores the constitution and qualitative characteristics of urban sonic space from a design-oriented and practice-based perspective. The act of lifting forth and illuminating the interaction between architecture, the creation of sound and a sonic experience aims to examine and develop useful tools and methods for the representation, communication and analysis of the exterior sonic environment in complex architectural spaces. The objective is to generate theoretical and practical knowledge within the field of urban sound planning and design by s

Abstract:

Urban morphology in combination with soundscape planning and design are important parameters towards the development of sustainable cities. Towards this direction this study primarily investigates the effect of urban morphology and green-space related parameters on traffic noise in different analysis levels. Secondly, it complements this first objective approach with a subjective one, investigating peoples’ perceptual attributes using auditory and visual stimuli. Both approaches aim at merging the gap between acoustics and planning on the grounds of the new holistic approach of urban sound pla

Abstract:

This study explores how to improve soundscape quality in the context of urban morphology from the perspective of masking effects. Masking in this study is explained as a hearing phenomenon by which soundscape characteristics are altered by the presence of interfering sound event(s). The concept of this study is primarily based on two hypothesises: first, masking effects in soundscape can influence the perception and evaluation of sound environment; second, urban sound propagation has relationships with urban morphological parameters. Diverse sounds from the common urban sound sources are chara

Abstract:

In a society where environmental noise is becoming a major health and economical concern, sound emissions are an increasingly critical design factor for vehicle manufacturers. With about a quarter of the European population living close to roads with heavy traffic, traffic noise in urban landscapes has to be addressed first. The current introduction of electric vehicles on the market and the need for sound systems to alert their presence is causing a shift in mentalities requiring engineering methods that will have to treat noise management problems from a broader perspective.

Des réseaux de capteurs acoustiques sont actuellement mis en place dans plusieurs grandes villes afin d’obtenir une description plus fine de l’environnement sonore urbain. Un des défis à relever est celui de réussir,à partir d’enregistrements sonores, à estimer des indicateurs utiles tels que le niveau sonore du trafic routier. Cette tâche n’est en rien triviale en raison de la multitude de sources sonores qui composent cet environnement. Pour cela, la Factorisation en Matrices Non-négatives (NMF) est considérée et appliquée sur deux corpus de mixtures sonores urbaines simulés. L’intérêt de si

Abstract:

Sound in our human world is broken down into two general types : desirable and undesirable. Unwanted sounds in our lives, that we also call “noises”, induce diverse kinds of physical and psychological reactions, many of them unhealthy. As humans living in the Anthropocene, we bring noise with us everywhere we go, creating soundscapes of random sources that we either enjoy or find annoying, while masking more aesthetically resonant sounds. As our modern society is moving faster, the urban soundscape becoming noisier, and our attention taken by technology, we forget to pay attention to our surro

Abstract:

Prediction of the sound field in large urban environments has been limited thus far by the heavy computational requirements of conventional numerical methods such as boundary element (BE), finite-difference time-domain (FDTD), or ray-tracing methods. Recently, a considerable amount of work has been devoted to developing energy-based methods for this application, and results have shown the potential to compete with conventional methods. However, these developments have been limited to two-dimensional (2-D) studies (along street axes), and no real description of the phenomena at issue has been e

Suite à ce dessein, la notion de trace sonore a été développée afin de mieux saisir, catégoriser et caractériser ces sonorités particulières et ordinaires engendrées par l'usager via ses actions.

Abstract:

Cities around the world encounter global challenges, of which climate change is one. Urbanisation is resulting in inflexible land uses that are hard to reverse and cause fragmentation of green areas, which therefore decline in quality and contribute to the cities’ vulnerability to climate change. In recent years the concept of ecosystem services has gained recognition and is used more often in urban planning. However, focus in these discussions has not always been on urban green spaces. There is a lack of tools that in an operative way link green space allocation to provision of ecosystem serv

Les capteurs acoustiques pour mesurer ces ondes sont passifs, omnidirectionnels, fonctionnels par tout temps et de faible coût. Distribués dans une zone d’intérêt, ils extraient temps d’arrivée (TOAs) ou caractéristiques fréquentielles, qui permettent de remonter à une position de source via des algorithmes de loc
