Total Intensities = (1 x 10-4) + (1 x 10-8) = 1 x 10-4 Combined SPL = 10og (Itotal/Io) = 10 log (1 x 10-4/1x10-12) = 80 dB The external noise with a combined SPL of 80dB is generated from the vehicles and conversation. The SPL has exceeded the requirement for ground floor in the market. To reduce the noise produced by the street towards the building, a concrete wall with insulation is placed on the faรงade of the building to act as a buffer zone.

CONCLUSION As shown in calculations above, 30.15dB of noise level can be reduce during transmission from the street to the interior of the classroom. Therefore, the external noise (80dB) during peak hour, is reduced by 30.15dB during transmission, resulting in a sound level of 49.85dB when it reaches the interior of the classroom. 49.85dB is within the range of recommend level for classroom. Hence, acoustical comfort can be achieved.

CONCLUSION As shown in calculations above, 46.49 dB of noise level can be reduce during transmission from the street to the interior of the classroom. Therefore, the external noise (80dB) during peak hour, is reduced by 46.49 dB during transmission, resulting in a sound level of 33.5 dB when it reaches the interior of the classroom. 33.5 dB is within the range of recommend level for classroom. Hence, acoustical comfort can be achieved.
