  text: Rising challenges in cities worldwide, such as densification, contamination,
    and climatic events, often accelerate technological developments within the construction
    industry. Concepts like smart cities and autonomous buildings are gaining popularity
    as examples of sustainable design. However, the use of mechanical equipment and
    other technologies related to human activities tends to produce unwanted sounds,
    increasing the risk of noise pollution and potentially degrading people’s experiences
    around certain buildings. Façades can also be involved in the production of sounds
    produced by geophysical or biological sources. This paper presents a preliminary
    classification of sound emissions by façades based on literature review, and provides
    three case studies of buildings that produce sounds in the city of Santa Cruz
    de la Sierra, Bolivia. This research provides valuable insights into the potential
    impact of façade design on the urban acoustic environment, which should be an
    essential consideration in assessing a building's sustainability.
