Abstract

Instrumental observation data on acoustic oscillations in Moscow for 2014–2017 have been analyzed. The difference in amplitude and spectral characteristics of acoustic noise between the megalopolis and an outside area has been demonstrated. Data testifying to an increase in acoustic noise during strong atmospheric phenomena such as hurricanes and squalls are presented. Specific features of infrasound oscillations and acoustic–gravity waves have been considered separately.
