Zusammenfassung:The impact of urban traffic on human health is significant. This research conducts field measurements in Guangzhou, China, focusing on a building situated near subgrade roads and viaducts to investigate the characteristics of airborne and structure-borne noise generated by these infrastructures. The analysis involves the use of both sound pressure level and overall sound pressure level, as well as an examination of the transfer function between outdoor and indoor noise levels. The findings indicate that traffic-related airborne noise demonstrates a characteristic frequency at 1000 Hz in this scenario, while viaduct- and building-generated structure-borne noise is predominantly distributed at lower frequencies. Additionally, it is worth noting that structural vibrations generate significantly less energy compared to airborne traffic noise sources. The variation in outdoor road noise across different floors over the entire frequency range demonstrates an initial increase followed by a decrease with rising floor height due to air damping effects as well as sound barriers’ attenuation properties. These results enhance engineers’ understanding of urban traffic-induced airborne or structure-borne noise while establishing foundational data for designing layouts integrating urban buildings with roads.
