Tang, S. K., Yip, S. S., & Lee, R. Y. (2021). Noise reduction of enhanced acoustic balconies on a high-rise building block. In INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings 2021 (5327-5334). https://doi.org/10.3397/IN-2021-3050

Device called”enhanced acoustic balcony” is installed in a public housing development in Hong Kong. It is intended to help mitigate the impact of traffic noise on the residents. This balcony is basically an enlarged form of a plenum window allowing a... Read More about Noise reduction of enhanced acoustic balconies on a high-rise building block.

In-situ measurement and prediction of traffic noise transmission loss across a residential flat unit façade installed with two plenum windows (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Tang, S. K., & Li, X. (2020). In-situ measurement and prediction of traffic noise transmission loss across a residential flat unit façade installed with two plenum windows. In INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings 2020 (1368-1375)

In the present study, the traffic noise transmission loss across a residential flat unit façade installed with two plenum windows are measured in-situ in a 30-storey high-rise building located in an opened environment next to a very busy and noisy ma...

The recently published ISO/TS 12913-2:2018 standard aims to provide researchers and practitioners around the world with a reliable questionnaire for soundscape characterization. The ISO Technical Specifications report protocols and attributes grounde... Read More about Soundscape assessment: Towards a validated translation of perceptual attributes in different languages.

Sound insulation of plenum windows installed with rigid cylinder array (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Li, X., & Tang, S. K. (2019). Sound insulation of plenum windows installed with rigid cylinder array. In Proceedings of inter-noise 2019. The 48th International Congress and Exhibition on Noise Control Engineering

In this study, a 1:4 scale down model was established to investigate the acoustical performance of plenum window installed with a rigid cylinder array. A total of 6 rigid cylinders were vertically placed as a 2x3 array inside the central cavity of a... Read More about Sound insulation of plenum windows installed with rigid cylinder array.

Effects of sound incidence angle on the effectiveness of noise reduction measures applied to acoustic windows (2019)
Conference Proceeding
Leung, M., Tang, S. K., & Fung, M. L. (2019). Effects of sound incidence angle on the effectiveness of noise reduction measures applied to acoustic windows. In Proceedings of inter-noise 2019 : the 48th International Congress and Exhibition on Noise Control Engineering

With more residential buildings being built close to road network systems in Hong Kong, there is an increasing need to find method to combat excessive traffic noise exposure in residentials unit. Several measures have been employed in various places,... Read More about Effects of sound incidence angle on the effectiveness of noise reduction measures applied to acoustic windows.
