This noise can be generated by wind blowing across fa{\c{c}}ade elements or through the various gaps inside buildings. Noise generated by wind-affected fa{\c{c}}ade elements, particularly at higher wind speeds, has received increasing attention since the 2010s. In this paper a comprehensive literature review is carried out to draw general rules for limiting wind-induced noise in buildings. Next, an innovative design was proposed by Metravib Engineering for the Rabat Ibn Sina hospital designed by AIA Ing{\’e}nierie. A dynamic analysis of these sunshades was then verified using the finite element method to ensure there was no vibro-acoustic coupling between wind excitation and the sunshade's structural modes. Finally, wind tunnel tests confirmed that the noise induced by these fa{\c{c}}ade elements was under control and did not cause any particular annoyance.", }
