Predictability of noise indices in a high-rise residential environment (L)

Abstract

In the present investigation, daily noise level measurements were carried out at 12 independent sites within the closely packed high-rise residential areas in Hong Kong. Various environmental noise indices are calculated. Their cross-relationships and correlations with the population density and the daily traffic volume are also examined. Results suggest that the Ldn and Lden correlate very well with a multiple regression model, which involves both the population density and traffic volume, for the present site conditions.
