YEPES, DORA L.; GOMEZ, MIRYAM; SANCHEZ, LUIS  and  JARAMILLO, ANA C.. ACOUSTIC MAP MAKING METHODOLOGY AS A TOOL FOR URBAN NOISE HANDLING - MEDELLÍN CASE. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2009, vol.76, n.158, pp.29-40. ISSN 0012-7353.

Based on the nature of the noise variable and its space-temporal variability, it was taken into account the application of Geostatistical methodology for the prediction and assessment of the distribution of noise in the zones of study of the Project entitled "The Making of the Acoustic Map for the Municipality of Medellin" was carried out in the year 2006, by means of the Agreement 680 as of 2005, between the Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley and the ‘Jaime Isaza Cadavid’ Colombian Polytechnic. For its execution, the National University of Colombia, Medellin Branch also participated in it. Based on this methodology, it can be concluded that Medellin has a Global Daytime Noise Level of 73 dB(A), which shows that its Urban Zone has appropriate Levels of Noise just for Industrial Sectors. Likewise at Night, the Global Noise Level reaches 68 dB(A), also be appropriate for the same type of sector.
