Question

Oise from highways is a large issue, particularly for those who live close to the highway. Engineers have come up with several solutions to the problem. One solution can be a high vertical wall. Second, planting vegetation, like trees. Third, using a large buffer zone or open space.

Explain how trees, a high wall or buffer zones can reduce the noise from a highway that is heard at a nearby home.
Think…
· How would the noise be for someone in a home?
· How would the noise be for someone driving on the highway?
· How does the DOPPLER EFFECT fit in to this scenario?

Answer 1

Planting vegetation can reduce noise because plants are known for absorbing noise. The noise would be reduced so the person living in the home would rarely notice. Someone driving on the highway would still hear the noise but it would be faint.The doppler effect is frequency so putting plants there will lower the frequency.
