Abstract:

Within recent years, there has been a renewed focus on sound in urban environments. From sound installations in public space to sound festivals in alternative settings, we find a common interest in sound art relating to the urban environment. Artworks or interventions presented in such contexts share the characteristics of site specificity. However, this article will consider the artwork in a broader context by re-examining how sound installations relate to the urban environment. For that purpose, this article brings together ecology terms from acoustic ecology of the sound theories of the 197

Abstract:

Sound pollution is an ever growing problem in modern society, and especially in urban environments. In this paper, we investigate if and how artificial sounds can improve the experience of visitors of an urban park with a lot of traffic noise. By using a mobile app, park visitors can control the sound playback by selecting the natural sounds they like, such as birds or a waterfall, and setting the volume. This process of adding artificial sounds to the existing sound environment results in an augmented soundscape. Comparison of the environment with and without this sound playback showed that m

A crowd can be both a sound source and an absorber. The sound of human voices significantly impacts evaluations of acoustic indicators in urban public spaces. This study aimed to investigate whether human sound impacts evaluations of the overall environment from both visual and auditory aspects.

Human voice plays a pivotal role as a sound source in urban environments. Despite the plethora of natural sound sources present in urban spaces, human voice often stands out as one of the sound source, exerting a significant influence on the perception and affection of these spaces. However, compared to other aspects of urban soundscapes, such as traffic noise (air, road, rail), human voice cartography and modelling remains relatively underexplored, with limited historical development and scholarly attention.

Urban sound management often amounts to reducing sound levels with the underlying assumption of sound/noise as a nuisance. However, a reduction in sound level does not necessarily lead to a more pleasant auditory experience, especially in urban public spaces where vibrancy can be sought after. A proactive design approach that accounts for the human experience of sound environment is needed to improve the quality of urban spaces.

Abstract:

To ensure adequate management of the soundscape in urban environments, urban planning authorities need a range of tools that enable them to perform this condition. Analyzing and classifying a soundscape is necessary to adapt it to the expectations of the people who inhabit it. The term Soundscape is associated with three different research areas: ecology / anthropology, music / sound design and architecture / urbanism. In particular, in this paper, the third research area will be investigated, finding a correlation model between auditory and visual sensations of the urban landscape of the port

Abstract:

Urban noise maps and noise visualizations traditionally provide macroscopic representations of noise levels across cities. However, those representations fail at accurately gauging the sound perception associated with these sound environments, as perception highly depends on the sound sources involved. This paper aims at analyzing the need for the representations of sound sources, by identifying the urban stakeholders for whom such representations are assumed to be of importance. Through spoken interviews with various urban stakeholders, we have gained insight into current practices, the stren

Abstract:

Simulation and auralization of urban traffic noise can help city planners and residents to improve existing urban areas or plan new attractive living spaces while enabling discussions about shared auditory experiences, regardless of expertise. Evaluating street noise in the context of urban areas requires careful consideration of their urban surroundings, such as landscapes, buildings, and other structures. Obtaining measurements to validate simulations may be difficult given the variety and complexity of sounds within an urban setting. Recreating the real urban scenario on a test track, e.g.,

Abstract:

Façades cover a significant amount of surfaces in cities and are in constant interaction with the acoustic environment. Noise pollution is one of the most concerning burdens for public health and wellbeing; however, façade acoustic performance is generally not considered in outdoor spaces, in contrast to indoor spaces. This study presents a systematic literature review examining 40 peer-reviewed papers regarding the effects of façades on the urban acoustic environment and the soundscape. Façades affect sound pressure levels and reverberation time in urban spaces and can affect people’s percept

Abstract:

Road traffic noise control in urban green space is a big concern for urban designers and public managers. The introduction of water sounds into noisy environment has been proven effective based on the soundscape approach. To extend more effective and applicable strategies for water sound informational masking, the exploration of the spatial settings of virtual water sound playbacks in urban parks were conducted both in the laboratory and field settings. Three different spatial water-sound sequences were added into the virtual noisy environment through an immersive spatial audio system and the

Abstract:

The acoustic environment of urban forests is indispensable for urban residents’ nature-based recreation opportunities and experience of green spaces, and the perceptual and physical sound features in time and space serve as determinants during this process. However, their spatiotemporal variation mechanisms and influential landscape characteristics are still underexplored in urban forests. Thus, this study aims to explore the spatiotemporal variability of perceptual and physical sound features and their relationship with landscape characteristics in urban forests.

In urban design, another concept that gains importance as visual perception is auditory perception. To provide acoustic comfort in cities, these subjective perceptions should be investigated and known in depth.

Aim: The aim of the study is to show the importance of soundscape design in public spaces by investigating the perceptions of the soundscape and sound preferences of Konak Square users and the effects of demographic factors.

Abstract:

Soundscape planning remains a challenge to many urban practitioners due in part to a scarcity of soundscape design tools. While many sound planning tools exist, they are generally geared towards acousticians rather than professionals of the built environment (e.g., urban designers, planners, or landscape architects). This paper walks through the user-centered design process for the development and evaluation of a new soundscape design tool, City Ditty. A User-Centered Design approach was utilized to identify and develop functionalities that would benefit urban practitioners that do not current
