Abstract
The problem of traffic noise is particularly important in urban areas. Comfort of residents living near the streets is also crucial. They often live in tall buildings. In this paper, analysis of sound level in the front of high block of flats is presented. In order to make sound level measurements, a thirteen storey building was selected. It is situated in low excavation at front of one of the streets in Szczecin. This street connects three large settlements on the right bank of the city. In the front of selected building, there are also located an intersection and pedestrian crossing. Sound level measurements were performed simultaneously in groups of three measurement points. They were located on various distances between streetпїЅs edge and building. Groups of measurement points were also situated on various building storeys. Sound level measurements and analysis of its results, were also performed during precipitation. In the selected block of flats, the characteristic hiss of vehicles moving on wet pavement is audible. For measurements, three sound meters / analysers from Svantek were used. It was analysed how the sound level depends on the height at which the measurement was made.
