An innovative design and development of noise barrier with newly composite mix of acoustic panel.

Urban dynamics and anthropogenic interventions led to an increase in noise pollution levels, with relevant implications for worldwide healthcare. Structures created to lessen noise pollution from traffic, industry, or other sources are known as noise, sound, or acoustic barriers. The research paper presents a unique design and development of noise barrier with newly composite mix of acoustic panels and vegetative cover augmenting noise attenuation and aesthetics.

Evaluation of noise barriers based on geometries and materials: a review.

The acoustical properties of a barrier are highly dependent on the physical properties of the material and the internal structure of the material. The acoustical material can curtail the quality of sound or enhance the dispersion, depending on the application being considered. The efficient acoustic performance of noise barriers possessing different shapes and materials including waste materials is reviewed for field implementation to achieve the low-cost sustainable noise barrier application in the Indian context.

Traffic noise prediction model of an Indian road: an increased scenario of vehicles and honking.

Noise is considered as an underrated and underemphasized pollutant in contrast to other pollutants of the environment. Due to the non-acute response of health effects, people are not vigilant towards consequences regarding noise pollution. The expansion of the transportation industry is contributing towards the increment in the public and private vehicular volume which causes an increment in noise pollution.
