TLDR
A significant reduction in hourly average equivalent sound and hourly minimum sound levels was observed at all stations during the lockdown period and this can be attributed to reductions in both road and air traffic movements.About:

Human mobility behavior in COVID-19: A systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis
TL;DR: This article maps the scientific literature in human mobility behavior in the context of the current pandemic and identifies how air transportation- and environmental-related studies tend to be more mature research whereas the understanding of changes in travel behavior tends to be immature.

Indoor soundscapes at home during the COVID-19 lockdown in London – Part I: Associations between the perception of the acoustic environment, occupantś activity and well-being
Simone Torresin,Rossano Albatici,Francesco Aletta,Francesco Babich,Tin Oberman,Agnieszka Elzbieta Stawinoga,Jian Kang +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the perception of the indoor acoustic environment in relation to traditional and new activities performed at home, i.e., relaxation, and working from home (WFH).

Attitudes towards outdoor and neighbour noise during the COVID-19 lockdown: A case study in London
Pyoung Jik Lee,Jeong Ho Jeong +1 more
TL;DR: The findings of this study suggest that neighbour noise is more problematic than outdoor noise during lockdown, which would be useful in designing the future strategy to enhance the acoustic comfort and city sustainability.

Optimal Detection of Changepoints With a Linear Computational Cost
TL;DR: This work considers the problem of detecting multiple changepoints in large data sets and introduces a new method for finding the minimum of such cost functions and hence the optimal number and location of changepoints that has a computational cost which is linear in the number of observations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Urban Sprawl: Diagnosis and Remedies:
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that urban spatial expansion results mainly from three powerful forces: a growing population, rising incomes, and falling commuting costs, and propose two types of development taxes and congestion tolls levied on commuters.

Noise pollution: non-auditory effects on health
Stephen Stansfeld,Mark Matheson +1 more
TL;DR: In children, chronic aircraft noise exposure impairs reading comprehension and long-term memory and may be associated with raised blood pressure, and further research is needed examining coping strategies and the possible health consequences of adaptation to noise.

The association between noise exposure and blood pressure and ischemic heart disease: a meta-analysis.
Elise van Kempen,Hanneke Kruize,Hendriek C. Boshuizen,Caroline Ameling,Brigit Staatsen,Augustinus E.M. de Hollander +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that noise exposure can contribute to the prevalence of cardiovascular disease and the evidence for a relation between noise exposure and ischemic heart disease is still inconclusive because of the limitations in exposure characterization, adjustment for important confounders, and the occurrence of publication bias.
