Monitoring Exposure to Traffic Noise with Mobile Phones in China: A Review of Context

There is sufficient scientific evidence that noise exposure can cause serious health problems, including hypertension and heart disease. 2Loud? is a mobile phone application developed and tested as a technology to accurately monitor, assess and map the level of exposure to traffic noise of citizens. This paper aims to set the basis for the test of 2Loud? in China, through a context review, as part of a collaborative research between Deakin University and the Chinese Academy of Science (RCEES). Australia and China share similarities and have differences in relation to patterns of urbanisation and technologies' use, and cultural and political backgrounds. These can provide a fertile environment for the investigation of opportunities and barriers to develop environmental community sensing processes related to noise in urban areas, which can make an impact on the quality of life of the population.
