  text: "Façades cover a significant amount of surfaces in cities and are in constant
    interaction with the acoustic environment. Noise pollution is one of the most
    concerning burdens for public health and wellbeing; however, façade acoustic performance
    is generally not considered in outdoor spaces, in contrast to indoor spaces. This
    study presents a systematic literature review examining 40 peer-reviewed papers
    regarding the effects of façades on the urban acoustic environment and the soundscape.
    Façades affect sound pressure levels and reverberation time in urban spaces and
    can affect people’s perception of the acoustic environment. The effects are classified
    into three groups: Effects of façades on the urban acoustic environment, including
    sound-reflecting, sound-absorbing and sound-producing effects; Effects of façades
    on the urban soundscape, including auditory and non-auditory effects; Effects
    of the context on the acoustic environment around façades, including boundary
    effects and atmospheric effects.\r\n"
