| Sumario: | Urban noise deteriorates environmental quality, due to the negative effects on the auditory, physical and mental health of users. Likewise, the Soundscape is a tool to learn to listen and value the acoustic environment of cities, to raise awareness about the emission of different sounds and the harmful consequences caused by noise pollution. The present work seeks to identify and compare the sound levels of green spaces in the Metropolitan Area of Tucumán, in order to evaluate the acoustic quality and define a sustainable and healthy acoustic habitat. Five squares and one urban park and their perimeter urban channels wereconsidered and analyzed. Quantitative evaluations were carried out with instruments according to regulations.The results obtained allowed the diagnosis and comparison of the study areas, where noise levels were lower compared to their perimeter canals, but higher than those recommended by the World Health Organization. |
