If you would like to download the app and contribute to the sound map then please go to the relevant store for your device (iOS or Android only) and search for 'Think About Sound'. This is how you will be able to work on your noise control project. and it is the availability and ease of use of these mobile phones which will be used here. Just move your mouse around on the map and scroll in and out.
Some smart phones for example can contain sensors for audio capture, temperature measurement, heart-rate monitoring etc. 3D Traffic Noise Mapping in City Central Area Abstract: The use of data resources available for environmental as well as the integration of GIS data and noise simulation software in this research have provided technical solutions to some difficult problems while getting and editing data in the course of noise calculation. The proliferation of mobile devices in recent years had led to an increase in the extent of research being carried out often exploiting the various sensors on the device. The characteristics found in sound can easily be measured but it is the subjective experiences that we are aiming to quantify and places this experimental method at the discretion of you, the participant. This research aims to enable and encourage public participation in order to shed light on the perception of the sound you encounter in your daily life. The environmental sound map is now live and can be found at or by clicking the link opposite. Therefore this research aims to create more sophisticated environmental sound maps which communicate both location-specific noise information, and the subjective effect of noise upon the listener. Another benefit of this approach is the potential to examine how subjectively annoying or disturbing the noise is to the listener by building a measure of human perception into the model. This then has the potential to communicate more meaningful information on environmental noise to the public in that it will allow them to experience the noise levels present in a particular location. The aim of this research is to create an interactive audio tool using 3D environmental noise maps based on binaural recordings and crowd-sourced material. LimA offers two main options to display your noise or pollution maps in a convenient and appealing way. However this potential is not currently being fully exploited by noise maps produced by European Union member states, which are based on road traffic, rail, industry, and airport data and environmental variables rather than actual recordings of environmental noise at a given location. Advanced 3D Viewer and WebMapServer integration. As such they are a potential quality of life indicator for those living in areas where noise pollution could be a detrimental factor. 3D presentation tools integrating noise modelling, GIS and computer graphics are needed to portray the noise environment in the unique high-rise townscape of. Current noise maps represent environmental noise levels, how they vary by geographical location, and are used for communicating information on environmental noise to the public.
