TL;DR: In this article, surveys and sound measurements were carried out simultaneously in different locations of the main green spaces of Caceres city, and the results of this study show that noise satisfaction has the greatest significant relationship with overall satisfaction with green spaces.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors make a revision of spatial sampling methodologies for noise pollution assessment in relation with urban planning and a review of studies that have analysed the relationships between urban noise and different specifics aspects of urban design.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multiple regression model for urban traffic noise was developed, which allows explaining 63% of the variability of urban noise, and its prediction capacity was analyzed with 30 new randomly selected independent sampling points, showing a global uncertainty lower than 2-dBA, similar to that obtained in noise mapping techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, a distribution of differences analysis between the measured and calculated sound levels is conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the noise model, and to analyse the different urbanistic and road traffic characteristics that influence their uncertainties.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the most appropriate option for accurately assessing the sound level incident on the facade of buildings is to place the microphone at a distance of 2 m if the guidelines of the ISO 1996-2 standard can be met.
