Résumé

One of the difficulties in designing a barrier to attenuate sound levels outdoors is that although it is easy to calculate the attenuation a certain barrier height will give, it is not so easy to reverse the process to determine what barrier height is necessary to provide a certain attenuation. In this paper we present a method that provides a simple, rapid and convenient procedure for calculating the barrier height to provide a required sound attenuation with acceptable accuracy.
