Resumo:Noise control refers to a set of methods, techniques, and technologies that allows obtaining acceptable noise levels in a given place, according to economic and operational considerations. The question of “acceptance” is for what or for whom. Generally, there is no single answer to this question, nor is there a single solution to any given problem, as long as regulatory compliance is achieved. Noise control does not necessarily imply the reduction of noise emissions—it refers to making acceptable sound pressure levels of immission (i.e., the signal reaching the receiver). This chapter aims to present the basis of noise control techniques, both in emission and propagation, to finally achieve the most current protection techniques for the receivers, when there are no more alternatives in the previous steps.
