Towards Sustainable and Liveable Cities: Recent Advances in Noise Control Measures
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
As sustainability and livability are now two of the main pillars in developing future cities, outdoor and indoor noise controls have started to receive more research emphasis lately. Examples of outdoor noise include transportation noise, wind turbine noise, community noise, and industrial noise. Examples of indoor noise include animal noise and impact noise. Outdoor noise can also propagate into living spaces and contributes to indoor noise. As the world aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, solutions that possess elements of sustainability are preferred. This Topic aims to publish recent advances in noise control measures that could be beneficial for controlling indoor noise and/or outdoor noise as cities are developed to be more sustainable and livable. Solutions that tackle the source, path, or receiver are all welcomed. Review articles relevant to the scope are also welcomed. We look forward to receiving your valued contributions.
