Abstract: Urban environments are awash with myriad sounds, among which impulsive noises stand distinct due to their brief and often disruptive nature. As cities evolve and expand, the accurate classification and management of these impulsive sounds become paramount for urban planners, environmental scientists, and public health advocates. This paper introduces a novel framework leveraging the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) Network for the systematic categorization of impulsive urban sounds. Traditional methodologies often falter in recognizing the nuanced intricacies of such noises. In contrast, the presented BiLSTM-based approach adapts to the temporal variability intrinsic to these sounds, thereby enhancing classification accuracy. The research harnesses an expansive dataset, curated from various urban settings, to train and validate the model. Preliminary findings suggest that our BiLSTM framework outperforms existing models, with a marked increase in both specificity and sensitivity metrics. The outcome of this study holds profound implications for city acoustics management, noise pollution control, and urban health interventions. Moreover, the framework's adaptability paves the way for its application across diverse acoustic landscapes beyond the urban realm. Future endeavors should seek to further optimize the model by integrating more diverse soundscapes and addressing potential biases in data collection.
