Noise mapping Torre Baró, Ciutat Meridiana, Vallbona

-Team members. J. Antonio Tamez E, Amay Gurkar, Carlo Caltabiano

The objective of this map is to understand the layers of noise present on the three barrios by dividing them into a grid composed ofquadrants of 100*100 meters., coordinated in alphabetical columns and numerical rows. The main idea is to try and use this system as a way to find areas that not only are noisy but also are producers of ambient contaminants.
The system uses both the average lower decibel and the average higher decibel to compare the differences in noise in a given quadrant. It was found that areas where the difference between low and high decibels is marginal are the areas that contain some sort of industrial age infrastructure, which could be anything between an electric tower carrying power lines that vibrate with the wind, to industrial warehouses and highways that produce large quantities of noise and, by extension, ambient pollution.
