noise in elevated structures

[Elyse]

Hi!

I'm looking to find technical information relating to the sound from an elevated structure (say an El or a highway bridge) and its relation to the sound receiver.

Could it be considered as an infinite line source? This would be pretty easy to model.

Hi Butelia,

Yes, it would be an infinite line source. How would it be modeled? Is there a source I can check for that?
