As cities continue to grow, the need to mitigate external noise and enhance indoor acoustic quality has become paramount. The criteria for acoustic comfort have evolved into a necessary consideration in habitable spaces. Several studies have investigated the connection between noise annoyance and both the physical attributes of sound and its impact on health and well-being. Noise nuisance has been shown to adversely affect hypertension, increase the chances of cardiovascular diseases, increase stress, and reduce cognitive efficiency in occupants [1]. An acoustically comprehensive strategy for occupant comfort in buildings often involves a multifaceted approach, incorporating design concepts, material selection, and the expertise of acoustic consultants to achieve optimal results. However, in pursuit of streamlined green and sustainable strategies, the acoustic well-being of the users of the space often goes unnoticed. For instance, a study on indoor environmental quality (IEQ) involving 23,450 respondents from 142 buildings concludes acoustic nuisance as the...
