Zusammenfassung
Limited research deals with acoustic environments and their opportunities for health. Little is known about the prerequisites for achieving high acoustic quality in urban environments. In our study SALVE, we investigate acoustic environments in defined urban areas. The acoustic environment encompasses biophonic (low acoustic frequencies produced e. g. by animals), geophonic (created by physical processes, like wind or rainfall) and anthrophonic sounds (including sounds from stationary or mobile machines e. g. cars). We recorded sound at 23 specific locations in Bochum by Direct Aural Procedure (DAP) with SM2 aud…
