Available online 27 September 2013The present paper aims to address the problems of the urban environment as an area of interaction
between urban forms and urban noise. This interaction is intended to be monitored using urban indica-tors, by comparing the effects of noise propagation using models of urban forms. The model of noise pre-diction allowed developing noise studies in facades, resulting in noise levels in a calculation grid located
in the building facades. The study will allow the creation of different scenarios and anticipate as early as
in the preliminary building design phase, which facades would be exposed to higher noise levels. The
effects of noise in facades can then be minimized in advance, by adjusting the layout of the urban typology
