Improving the acoustic environment in cities
The noise generated by human activity and traffic are the main noise sources in cities. The sound levels near building facades are regulated, and, to develop a high-quality urban environment, general acoustic analysis is required. For this purpose, the CSTB uses an auralization technology to re-create the sound impacts of development projects. In 2014, this expertise was used to assist the Conseil Général du Nord (General Council of the North).
