A computer model has been developed to study sound propagation in suburban areas. The stimulation includes reflection, absorption, scattering, and transmission of sound at scattering surfaces as well as air absorption and predicts sound pressure levels at receivers as a function of time. Results from the computer model have been compared to scale model experiments, theoretical calculations, and field data with good agreement both in sound pressure level peaks and the time of their occurrence. The stimulation has been applied to a study of the role of multipath propagation in suburban areas.
