Simon Fraser

Simon Fraser University, located in British Columbia, Canada, is notable for its research in environmental acoustics, which studies sound in outdoor environments. This field examines how noise from traffic, industry, and nature affects both ecosystems and human health. Researchers at Simon Fraser investigate ways to measure, analyze, and mitigate unwanted sound, aiming to improve urban planning and community well-being. Their work is essential in designing quieter environments, protecting wildlife, and enhancing the quality of life in urban areas by reducing noise pollution and understanding its impacts on both people and nature.
