TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the sound level reduction provided by the shape and the acoustic cladding of an urban facade in front of a talking noise source in a street canyon.

TL;DR: In this paper, it has been proved that auditory perception has an influence on how we live and move through places and on the use of public spaces, despite the numerous studies that have focused on the theme "auditory perception".

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effect of soundscape and lightscape variations on the perceived safety and perceived social presence in a pedestrian area through laboratory experiments and found that the soundscape had an effect on perceived safety (p < 0.05), while the lightscape variation implemented in this experiment only had a statistically significant effect on the latter.

TL;DR: Calculation of the standardized sound level difference of facade showed that a lightweight concrete facade made by a Structural Concrete Wall with Thermal Insulation Properties satisfies the requirements of the higher class set by the COST Action TU0901 for sound insulation of dwellings.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate on urban spaces discrimination through reverberation of a self-emitted impulsive sound and on listeners' characteristics that work as factors of influence, building on previous works on human echolocation and room geometry assessment through auditory perception.
