Abstract

In this work, experiments were undertaken in an open field having 10,000 m2 area purified from any noise on 121 survey stations using the central frequencies of seven different octave bands with a single and double artificially formed sources of noise. Meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, velocity and direction of wind were also taken into consideration. Additionally, the effect of reflecting waves from any surface was also experimentally examined. To evaluate the data obtained, the statistical program of SPSS 9.05 was utilized. From this research, an equation utilising all the parameters was developed.
