noise abatement strategies

Noise abatement strategies are methods used to reduce unwanted sound from sources like vehicles, industries, or aircraft. These strategies include designing quieter machinery, installing sound barriers (like walls) to block noise travel, using quieter operation techniques, and implementing regulations on noise levels. For transportation, measures can include rerouting traffic, imposing noise limits, or scheduling noisy activities during less disruptive times. The goal is to minimize noise impact on communities, improving comfort and health by controlling sound at its source or blocking its spread.
