How to detect the noise reduction effect of road sound barrier?

Road noise barriers are the most common noise reduction facilities in our heavy traffic sections, and their installation purpose is to reduce noise. But how effective is it? How to do a good effect evaluation?

In the evaluation of noise reduction effect of road sound barrier, indoor test and field test are the two most common methods for detection.

Indoor test refers to the test of the noise reduction effect of the sound barrier in the laboratory environment. This method requires the use of professional testing instruments and equipment, such as sound source, sound pressure level meter, signal processor, and the corresponding test software. In the test process, it is necessary to refer to the standard test procedures for operation, and in strict accordance with the standard test requirements for data processing and analysis.

The field test rule is to test the noise reduction effect in the actual application environment of road sound barrier. This method requires selecting a certain number of test points around the sound barrier, and using sound pressure level meter to measure the sound pressure level at different positions. In the measurement process, it is necessary to pay attention to controlling the impact of environmental factors (such as acoustic conditions, meteorological conditions and background noise) on the test results, and to accurately process and analyze the test data.

Each of these two methods has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the appropriate method can be selected according to the actual situation and demand. No matter which method is used, it is necessary to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results in order to objectively evaluate the noise reduction effect of the sound barrier.
