Acoustic Monitoring of Environmental Noise Based on Sampling Approach

Abstract

Generally the estimation of traffic noise levels is carried out by using acoustic monitoring systems. In this paper, starting from the results of a study on the environmental noise pollution of a city of the South of Italy, a statistic procedure focused on the bootstrap method is presented to evaluate the sound pressure levels of one month acquisition. The experimental verification against real data shows the consistency of the algorithm for forecasting the long-term noise indicator.
