Abstract :
Acoustic relates to the sense or organs of hearing or (popular music or musical instruments) not having electrical amplification. The aim of this study is to improve the acoustic implementation in high-rise residential in order to alleviate the noise pollution. Nowadays, worldwide population growth leads to a rapid urbanization of urban area, cities and the development of infrastructure, especially transportation. The strong urbanization in the cities or urban area of developing countries leads to the issues of noise pollution adversely influencing residents especially in high-rise residential area. A fact in Malaysia depicts that road traffic and railway noise contribute the highest number of complaints in noise pollution, which mainly due to the industrialization and urbanization in the area of Klang Valley Selangor, Malaysia. In this study, data were collected via fieldwork study and table study. Also, quantitative research was adopted to obtain an adequate number of samples and distributed to the 152 number of targeted respondents that reside in the high-rise residential of Klang Valley through convenient sampling method. Based on the results from this research, the most detrimental impact of noise pollution was Sleep Disturbance, whereas, theRoad and Railway Traffic was the most significant causes of noise pollution.In the view of this, the most effective method to improve the quality of acoustic implementation in high-rise residential was the Material Used to Construct a Building, which generally obtained based on the results obtained from the respondents. In a nutshell, according to this research, the major issue of noise pollution affecting the high-rise residential was road and railway traffic, which inducing detrimental sleep quality among the residents, thus, appropriate material used to construct a building has to be planned carefully in the design stage so as to mitigate noise pollution effectively.
