2 CONTENTS Outdoor Sound Propagation Geometrical Spreading Atmospheric Absorption Ground Reflection x Ground Absorption Attenuation Due to Vegetation Noise Barriers Sound in Enclosed Space Noise Criteria and Limiting Quantities INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 2 40

3 OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Geometrical Spreading Atmospheric Absorption Effects of Wind and Temperature Gradient Ground Reflection x Absorption Attenuation Due to Vegetation Noise Barriers gradients atmospheric absorption source receiver ground reflection vegetation INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 3 40

4 GEOMETRICAL SPREADING Attenuation depends on a character of sound source: - point sources (mechanical equipment, other at large distances) - line sources (roads) - planar sources (building facades), distance from the source, directivity and source position: FACADE SOURCES* ROOF SOURCES* *or noise sources placed on facades or roofs INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 4 40

5 ATMOSPHERIC ABSORPTION - for long distances r between source and receiver positions - depends on temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and frequency A atm r. m - m is an atmospheric absorption rate in db.m -1 or db.km -1 - ISO values of m INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 5 40

6 EFFECTS OF WIND AND TEMPERATURE GRADIENT - vertical gradients bend sound waves upward or downward Wind - the wind speed has no effect on sound propagation in contrast to gradient - acoustic shadow x sound amplification - propagation of sound is not influenced in the perpendicular direction shadow amplification amplification shadow positive gradient negative gradient INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 6 40

7 EFFECTS OF WIND AND TEMPERATURE GRADIENT Temperature amplification hot amplification cool shadow shadow cool hot positive gradient negative gradient INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 7 40

8 height height GROUND REFLECTION X ABSORPTION - reflected sound ray causes either attenuation or amplification - depends on a frequency and a ground character (reflective e. g. water, alphat x absorptive e. g. grass) - common simplification total reflection + 3 db (Q 2) Source direct Receiver reflective ground attenuation reflected attenuation absorptive ground distance distance INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 8 40

9 ATTENUATION DUE TO VEGETATION - trees and forests have no significant attenuating effect - scattering from trunks, limbs and leaves attenuation - wooden area: a) minimum width of 20 meters b) trees staggered close to each other c) dense underbrush - change in attenuation during the winter season!

24 SOUND IN ENCLOSED SPACES Definition of Diffuse Sound Field - energy is incident from all directions with equal intensities at any position in the room - the intensity of the sound field does not vary with receiver position these simplifications: - allow easy predictions of the sound field characteristics - restrict the use of the model - energy balance in enclosed space: Emitted Sound Power P e I diff,inc Absorbed Sound Power P a I inc p 2 diff 4c INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 24 40

36 ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE LEVEL CRITERIA Noise Impact on Human Being - objective (intensity, frequency, time) x subjective (information character) - less disturbing are sounds coming into the building from the outside - most disturbing are sounds caused by neighbours - informative character of sound catches the attention of people - three basic limiting values: L Aeq = 85 db L Aeq = 65 db L Aeq = 35 db hearing damage speech communication disturbances sleeping disturbances INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 36 40

37 response response ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE LEVEL CRITERIA L Aeq = 85 db - referes to the time of working period - when exceeded the workplace is classified as risk regarding to noise - if no chance to lower the noise at acceptable level, than workers have to: a) use self-protecting facilities against noise b) have breaks at some quiet place during their working shift c) attend periodic aural medicals noise stimulus stimulus INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 37 40

38 ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE LEVEL CRITERIA INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 38 40

39 SOUND INSULATION - characteristic for indoor environment - types of noise in buildings: a) airborne noise (e. g. loud speech, TV, radio, playing the music instruments, equipment), b) structureborne noise (e. g. footsteps, slammed doors, dropped objects, equipment). Airborne noise is radiated by sources directly into the air. Structureborne noise is produced by sources in mechanical contact with building structures INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SOUND PROPAGATION Jiří Nováček 39 40
