- Abstract
With the rapidly changing environment and growing cities and increasing traffic flows the problem of noise pollution is becoming more and more relevant. As street networks continue developing and land prices are rising, houses are more and more often built close to especially noisy suburban streets. Traffic-generated noise accounts for up to 80 % of the prevailing noise level. Many people build private houses from eco-friendly building materials, such as wood. The construction volumes of log houses, roadhouses and guest houses have increased. This article presents acoustic investigations of a log house's DnT,w measured under natural conditions in the natural environment - a constructed log house - and in a noise suppression chamber, analysing an element of the log wall. The log wall concerned was covered with log house heat-insulation materials and the obtained DnT,w results reached up to 58 dB.
