Evaluation of Campus Soundscape Construction

Abstract

With the vigorous construction of beautiful China and the rise of soundscape research, the application of soundscape in campus environment becomes gradually widespread. The article takes the small garden of the No. 1 teaching building in the North Campus of Henan Polytechnic University as an example, and conducts a study on the soundscape of colleges and universities based on objective sound pressure level measurement and subjective questionnaire research. The objective measurement results show that the average noise value of the garden during daytime is 63dB (A), which is higher than the national standard of 55dB (A). The results of the questionnaire survey indicated that people's overall satisfaction with the soundscape at this location was not highly rated and some degree of soundscape improvement was needed. Accordingly, the article investigates the relationship between sound comfort and sound pressure level, and adopts optimization measures in three aspects: vegetation planning strategy, characteristic soundscape shaping, and environmental material improvement, in order to provide reference for the study of university soundscape.
