A computer model is required to design the barrier since terrain‚ micro meteorology and other locale specific factors make the endeavor a very complex undertaking. For example‚ a roadway in cut or strong prevailing winds can produce a setting where atmospheric sound propagation is unfavorable to any noise barrier. 2. Describe
