CITYHUSH

The goal? To provide municipalities with tools to establish noise maps and action plans, offering a broad range of validated technical solutions for noise hot spots in their city.

The EU-funded project 'Acoustically green road vehicles and city areas' (CITYHUSH) sought to empower cities to create Q-Zones with noise levels reduced by over 20 decibels, and parks within these zones where current noise levels would be reduced by 25 decibels.

Key publications:

• CityHush Newsletter 1 (Project presentation)
• On the outdoor annoyance from scooter and motorbike noise in the urban environment 
• Practical Ranges of Loudness Levels of Various Types of Environmental Noise, Including Traffic Noise, Aircraft Noise, and Industrial Noise

CITYHUSH was funded by the European Commission's Directorate General for Mobility and Transport through the FP7 Programme. -Transport (Including Aeronautics) - Horizontal activities for implementation of the transport programme (TPT)
