新冠肺炎封锁在英国和全球创造了一种新的环境，以前从未经历过，也很可能再次发生。成立了一个至关重要的时间关键工作组，目的是在封锁期间和随后的时期收集英国各地的众源高质量基线噪音水平和其他支持性信息。声学社区通过现有的网络动员起来，让私人公司、公共组织和学者在可进入的地方收集数据。此外，还收集了来自主要基础设施项目、机场和规划应用程序的预先存在的持续测量数据，以创建尽可能大的数据库。设计和开发了一个网站，以宣传该项目，提供说明，并正式上传噪音数据、观测和声景反馈。本文提供了两个在全面封锁后期收集的案例研究，以说明与交通活动相关的环境噪声条件的变化。最终，该数据库将用于建立与其他影响的关系，如空气质量、空中交通、经济以及健康和福祉。作为公共资助的研究，该数据库将向公众开放，以帮助未来的研究。
The COVID-19 lockdown created a new kind of environment both in the UK and globally, never experienced before or likely to occur again. A vital and timecritical working group was formed with the aim of gathering crowd-source high quality baseline noise levels and other supporting information across the UK during the lockdown and subsequent periods. The acoustic community were mobilised through existing networks engaging private companies, public organisations and academics to gather data in accessible places. In addition, pre-existing on-going measurements from major infrastructure projects, airport, and planning applications were gathered to create the largest possible databank. A website was designed and developed to advertise the project, provide instructions and to formalise the uploading of noise data, observations and soundscape feedback. Two case studies gathered in the latter stage of full lockdown are presented in the paper to illustrate the changes in the environmental noise conditions relative to transport activity. Ultimately the databank will be used to establish the relation to other impacts such as air quality, air traffic, economic, and health and wellbeing. As publicly funded research the databank will be made publicly available to assist future research.
