Keywords:
COVID-19, Lockdown, Soundscape, Sound, NoiseAbstract
COVID-19 generated profound changes in daily life and, with the confinement and the implementation of sanitary measures, changes in sound generation occurred in both private and public life. Here we present the results of measurements with a continuous sound monitoring station at a house in Nuevo León, from April to August 2020, during the first period of confinement and at the beginning of the first partial opening. This article discusses the results of the measurements and comments on field observations made during this period.
