| Summary: | Transportation is a major contributor to environmental noise pollution, which has significant health impacts, including cardiovascular disorders, oxidative stress, hypertension, sleep disturbances, and mental health issues. Various countries have established stringent noise standards and implemented a range of mitigation techniques, with noise barriers being among the most effective. Recent studies emphasize using sustainable materials to minimize the environmental impact. This study systematically evaluates sustainable materials for railway noise barriers in Indonesia, focusing on bamboo due to its promising properties. Bamboo emerges as a promising material, with a maximum absorption coefficient of 0.95 at frequencies above 3500 Hz, demonstrating a high noise absorption efficiency. Bamboo offers dual benefits: effective noise reduction and alignment with sustainable development goals by utilizing a renewable, eco-friendly resource. |
