Noise pollution comes from various sources like transportation, construction, and social activities. It is measured in decibels and described using noise metrics like LAeq that account for duration. Exposure to high noise levels can damage hearing or cause annoyance. Guidelines recommend limiting community noise to below 55dB to minimize annoyance. Different types of noise have varying impacts and regulations aim to control noise emissions while balancing technical and economic factors.
The document discusses noise pollution, its sources, effects, and measures for prevention. It identifies major sources of noise pollution as household activities, social events, commercial/industrial activities, and transportation. Noise from industries, construction sites, vehicles, and agricultural machinery can harm hearing and health. Prevention measures include limiting noisy activities near settlements, proper vehicle maintenance, and soundproofing buildings.
Here are the solutions to the assigned problems from Chapter 15 of Davis and Masten:
15-2) A sound level meter reading of 75 dB is measured. What is the sound intensity level in dB?
Answer: Since sound intensity level is defined as 10log(I/I0) where I0 = 10-12 W/m2, and a sound level of 75 dB corresponds to an intensity of 10-12 W/m2, the sound intensity level is also 75 dB.
15-4) The sound level from a source is 65 dB. What is the sound level 6 feet from the source if the intensity decreases as the inverse square of the distance?
Answer: Using the formula that intensity decreases

RIDDOR is the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 which places a legal duty on employers to report work-related accidents and incidents to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Reportable incidents include deaths, injuries requiring more than 3 days off work to recover, and dangerous occurrences that result in no injury. Employers can make reports to the Incident Contact Centre (ICC) by phone, online form, email, fax or post to meet their RIDDOR reporting obligations. The ICC will process the report and send it to the appropriate enforcing authority.
D Part 3 Health Safety Revision By J Mc CannJames McCann
The document discusses the framework for health and safety regulation in the UK. The Health and Safety Commission and Executive (HSC/E) set regulations and guidance to protect worker health and safety. They consult affected parties and have three main options for action: guidance, Approved Codes of Practice, and regulations. The key law is the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, which establishes general duties for employers and employees. Employers must assess workplace risks and implement measures to control them. Regulations set specific requirements for high-risk issues. Guidance and Codes of Practice provide practical advice on complying with laws and regulations.
COSHH regulations require employers to assess and control risks from hazardous substances. They must identify substances in their workplace, decide on precautions needed to prevent employee exposure, and properly use and maintain control measures. Employers are responsible for risk assessments but can obtain outside help if needed. Potential health effects range from mild irritation to chronic disease or death. Following COSHH procedures can improve employee health, productivity and morale.

3. It also summarizes levels of consciousness, treatment for bleeding, types of wounds and fractures, and guidelines for safe moving and handling.
Three key points from the document:
1. Safety is important to prevent accidents in the workplace caused by negligence, poor training, unsafe equipment or behaviors. Most accidents follow a pattern of lack of management controls, unsafe acts or conditions, and result in losses.
2. Employers and employees have legal duties under health and safety laws to protect workers and others from risks. This includes conducting risk assessments, implementing controls, providing training, and following safe systems of work.
3. Ignoring safety risks and procedures is against the law and can lead to prosecution, fines, injuries or even death for those involved and affected. All workers are responsible for keeping themselves and others safe by raising concerns and following safety rules.
Noise pollution can negatively impact human health and the environment in several ways. It is defined as unwanted and disturbing sounds that disrupt normal activities or cause harm. Common sources include vehicles, construction equipment, and industrial operations. Effects range from temporary hearing loss and sleep disruption to long-term cardiovascular problems. Reducing noise pollution involves identifying sound sources, modifying noisy machinery, adding sound barriers, and providing protective equipment for workers.

Determining Typical Ambient Noise Levels in the presence of ConstructionVahndi Minah
Determining ambient noise levels in the presence of construction is a difficult and time consuming task, and the lack of dedicated analysis and visualisation tools can lead to much disagreement between interested parties about typical ambient levels. This paper presents an approach inspired by previous work on cluster-based analysis and visualisation of daily energy usage patterns, and demonstrates substantial success in achieving the aim of establishing typical ambient noise levels, as well as raising further questions about what typical truly means.
This document discusses noise issues related to wind turbine siting and community reactions. It begins with an overview of how noise from wind turbines has decreased with technological advances but can still cause annoyance. It then details sound measurement results from a case study where a wind farm was in compliance with noise limits but still received complaints. Research suggests wind turbines may be more annoying at a given noise level than other sources. The document concludes by outlining methods to evaluate expected community reaction and gain acceptance, such as ensuring noise levels will not elicit strong reactions and using soundscape demonstrations.
Noise pollution occurs when unwanted sounds disrupt normal activities or exceed levels that can damage human health. Major sources of noise pollution include transportation systems, construction sites, and industrial operations. Exposure to loud noises can cause health issues like high blood pressure, hearing loss, and sleep disruption. To reduce noise pollution, barriers can be placed around loud sources, regulations can limit vehicle noise, and public education on the issue is needed.
1) Noise pollution can be defined as any disturbing or unwanted noise that interferes or harms humans or wildlife. Sources of noise pollution include road traffic, aircraft, railroads, industries, loud speakers, and firecrackers.
2) The textile industry is a major source of noise pollution. Noise levels are highest at ring spinning machines and lowest at blow rooms. As loom and spinning machine speeds increase, noise levels also increase significantly.
3) Noise pollution has negative effects on public health like hearing loss, cardiovascular issues, and sleep disturbances. It also affects wildlife behavior and communication. Reducing noise at its source and increasing green coverage are ways to reduce noise pollution.
The document discusses noise pollution, defining it as unwanted or disruptive sound that negatively impacts human or animal life. It notes that while sound and noise are physically indistinct, noise is sound perceived as unpleasant, unwanted or disruptive. Major sources of noise pollution are listed as road traffic, construction, aircraft, railroads and consumer products. The effects of noise pollution on humans include hearing impairment, decreased work efficiency, lack of concentration, stress, heart issues, and sleep interference. Solutions proposed are better soundproofing, limiting loud machinery near homes, and growing plants that absorb sound. The key message is that excessive noise poses risks and mitigation efforts are needed.
This document discusses noise pollution, defining it as unwanted or disruptive sound that negatively impacts human or animal life. It begins by defining key terms like noise, sound, and decibels. The main sources of noise pollution are then outlined, such as transportation, construction, and consumer products. The health effects of noise pollution on humans and animals are explored, including hearing impairment, decreased work efficiency, lack of concentration, and increased risk of heart attacks. Solutions to noise pollution problems are proposed, such as enforcing limits on vehicle horns and loud speakers and planting trees to absorb sound. Overall, the document provides a comprehensive overview of noise pollution causes, impacts, and potential mitigation strategies.
Noise pollution occurs when unwanted or disruptive sounds negatively impact quality of life. It is caused by transportation systems, construction activities, and industrial operations in urban areas. Noise pollution can damage both physical and mental health by causing issues like high blood pressure, sleep disruption, and memory loss. The World Health Organization recognizes noise as a major threat to human well-being. Solutions include using sound barriers, regular maintenance of noisy machines, and locating industries away from residential areas.
The document discusses noise pollution, its sources, effects, and ways to reduce noise. It defines noise pollution as unwanted, disturbing sound from transportation, construction equipment, and other human sources that can negatively impact health. Prolonged exposure to noise over 80 decibels can cause hearing loss, and noise pollution is linked to other health issues. The document provides tips to reduce noise at home and from vehicles.
This document discusses noise control techniques for landscape design. It begins with basic definitions of sound, noise, frequency, and decibels. It then discusses approaches to sound control, including acoustical planning during the design stage to minimize noise and retrofitting existing developments. Key aspects of acoustical planning include setbacks, buffer zones, and noise barrier mounds. Retrofitting is more difficult and costly but can incorporate barriers, fences, and soundproofing. The document also covers noise measurement tools, calculations, outdoor noise control methods like barriers and screening, and factors that influence barrier effectiveness.

Overall it serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding and addressing traffic noise issues.
Noise Control Stratagies in Reinforced Concrete BuildingsIJRES Journal
This study is aimed at bringing out the salient aspects of building noise control. An analysis has been carried out with respect to the noise transmission as well as the characteristics of noise inside buildings. The key issues on building noise control have been included and discussed. A comprehensive study on building noise and on acoustically divisible spaces has been made. It has been observed that a sound insulation of the order of 30 to 35 dB is possible in a given building. Further, the noise propagation parameters in an exhibition hall have been theoretically estimated. The data so obtained has been compared with actual SPL measurements and recorded. Variations in noise levels observed have been explained. Before the partition is made, the SPL drop is faster inside the building but after the partition the drop falls at the rate of 3dB for doubling the distance. The cost of the acoustically divisible partition wall is found to be very high, but the advantage of this partition seems to be creating acoustically divisible spaces where in one can conduct two programs simultaneously, without any disturbance to each other. Prior to the selection and design of control measures, noise sources must be identified and the noise produced must be carefully evaluated.
Workers can be exposed to a wide array of noise exposures doing different tasks. They also may be exposed to noise while at sporting venues or participating in variuos recreational activities. Evaluating noise exposure correctly is just as important as selecting the right controls. This presentation examines the physics of noise, how to measure it, who to include in a hearing conservation program, and what controls can be used to reduce the risk.
Noise pollution is the disturbing or excessive noise that may harm human or animal life. The main sources of outdoor noise worldwide are machines, transportation systems, and vehicles. High noise levels can contribute to increased stress and health issues in humans like high blood pressure. Aggression differs from assertiveness and can take physical or non-physical forms. This study examined how noise pollution affects aggression in humans. A survey was conducted of 10 females in Rawalpindi, Pakistan which found that noise increases aggression and causes health problems. The results support the hypothesis that excessive noise leads to greater aggression. Reducing noise through barriers, coverage, and plants can help lower aggression levels in communities.
The tutorial provides a complete assessment of occupational and environmental noise risk assessment, engineering controls, and discussion regarding the need for hearing conservation program for at-risk workers. Occupational and environmental noise can affect hearing as well as stress the cardiovascular system and psychosocial aspects of worklife. Learn how to evaluate noise exposures and determine the best control measure. When noise controls cannot reduce or eliminate the risk, hearing conservations programs should be constructed to protect workers.
This document discusses noise pollution, including its definition, sources, measurement, impacts, and control methods. It defines noise pollution as unwanted sound that disrupts human or animal activity. The main sources discussed are road traffic, aircraft, railroads, construction sites, and industrial facilities. Noise is measured in decibels, and sounds above 80 dB are considered potentially hazardous. Health impacts from noise pollution include hearing loss, lack of concentration, stress, and sleep disruption. The document recommends various engineering and administrative controls to mitigate noise pollution from sources and protect receivers.
This document discusses principles of sound, acoustics, and noise. It covers topics such as the nature of sound including sound waves, sound levels measured in decibels, noise, and architectural acoustics. It provides information on measuring sound absorption coefficients of materials and factors that influence sound absorption. Design considerations for auditorium acoustics are also discussed.

For decades the question of how good and evil originate and manifest in us wa...James McCann
This document discusses research into psychopathic traits in corporate workplaces. Researchers have found that psychopathic traits like lack of empathy and remorse are common among high-level corporate employees, with some studies finding their prevalence is similar to that in prisons. These successful psychopaths exhibit the same core traits as other psychopaths such as dishonesty and aggression but are often able to charm others. There is also overlap between psychopathic traits and bullying behaviors in workplaces. The document argues more needs to be done to independently investigate bullying claims and develop strategies to cope with workplace stresses and bullies.
The document discusses the importance of conducting thorough accident investigations and root cause analyses. Legal regulations require employers to investigate accidents to plan corrective actions, demonstrate a positive safety culture to courts, and provide information to insurers. A full investigation identifies immediate causes and underlying root causes through methods like fishbone diagrams. The goal is to learn lessons, implement risk controls, and prevent recurrences, rather than attribute blame. A safety-focused culture is needed to ensure employees' cooperation with investigations.
This document discusses various logical fallacies, including the "full moon fallacy" which is the tendency to attribute increased accidents, crime rates, etc. to the full moon despite a lack of evidence. It provides examples of arguments committing fallacious reasoning by making unjustified causal links between the full moon and accidents or behaviors. The document warns readers not to fall prey to fallacious thinking and assumptions, but rather to conduct root cause analyses of accidents logically using tools like cause-and-effect diagrams to identify actual causal factors, not assume blame, and ultimately prevent future accidents.
- The study examines the effects of wind loading on manually operated gates through direct measurements under varying wind conditions and comparisons to still air conditions.
- Wind loading can significantly increase the force required to operate gates, which may exceed safe manual handling limits and increase the risk of injury.
- There is little guidance available for operators to properly assess these risks, and wind is often not considered a significant factor in risk assessments.
This document discusses managing disability, illness, or injury in the workplace by linking health and safety policies to equality. It argues that integrating these areas can promote job retention for disabled workers through reasonable adjustments. The document outlines how policies can interact effectively, the process of policy implementation, and employers' duties around health and safety, equality, and data protection. It provides examples of reasonable adjustments like modifying equipment or duties to accommodate disabilities.
This document discusses integrating health, safety, and equality policies to promote job retention for people with disabilities. It argues that a broader, more holistic approach is needed that considers individuals' capabilities through ergonomics. Current medical classifications of fitness often do not provide clear guidance to managers on what people can or cannot do. The document proposes 1) designing health and safety solutions around individuals, 2) examining how policies interact to more effectively and efficiently support retention, and 3) understanding the policy implementation process to determine their actual effects on retention.
This document discusses the responsibilities of senior managers in implementing a new "Back to the Floor" (BTTF) management approach. It outlines that senior managers should: actively participate in information governance to support BTTF activities; comply with information management policies; and cascade relevant information requirements to other managers. The document also provides guidance on best practices for BTTF activities, such as involving employee representatives and providing training to senior managers. It stresses the importance of communication, building trust with employees, and motivating staff.
The document provides an overview of the 2007 flooding in Gloucestershire, England. It summarizes the responses of various organizations:
- Gloucestershire experienced one of its worst floods in history in July 2007 when over two months of rain fell in 14 hours. Over 350,000 people were affected by flooding and water shortages.
- The police led the response effort, establishing a command structure to coordinate agencies. Other agencies like the fire department conducted search and rescue, protected infrastructure, and distributed water. The military also assisted with rescue, flood defenses, water distribution, and logistics.
- Severn Trent Water worked to restore water access, deploying over 1,400 water bowsers and distributing millions of bottles
This document discusses shift rostering and outlines several key points:
1. Over 3.5 million people in the UK work shifts across many industries. Employers must consider worker health and safety when designing shifts.
2. There are special rules for night workers to limit average hours to 8 per 24 hours. Employers must provide health assessments for night workers.
3. Poorly designed shifts can increase fatigue, accidents, and illness. A compromise must be found between organizational needs, employee wishes, and health recommendations when reviewing shift patterns.
Health and safety_is_just_common_sense...James McCann
While common sense seems like it should be enough to ensure safety, the document argues that true health and safety requires more than just common sense. Common sense is based on past experiences and differs between individuals and groups. It also does not consider unseen risks from electrical wiring or asbestos. Additionally, common sense is not innate but learned, so children and those without training may not have the common sense needed to identify hazards. True health and safety demands following established laws and approaching issues intelligently with an open mind, not just relying on common sense.
The document discusses the Work at Height Regulations in the UK. It notes that falls from height are a major cause of workplace fatalities and injuries. The regulations were introduced to improve safety by establishing a clear and consistent framework to manage risks associated with working at height. The regulations require hazards to be identified and risks to be properly assessed, controlled, and mitigated through measures such as proper planning, supervision, safe work equipment selection, inspection, and worker training.
The document summarizes key health and safety regulations in the UK, including RIDDOR, COSHH, CDM, Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare), Construction (Head Protection), Safety Signs and Signals, Electricity at Work, Noise at Work, Ionising Radiation, Confined Spaces, Safety Rep's and Safety Committee, Health and Safety (Consultation with Employees), Health and Safety (Information for Employees), Control of Pesticides, and Fire Precautions Act. It notes that these regulations establish reporting requirements, set standards for controlling hazardous substances, define duties of various parties in construction, mandate provision of basic welfare standards and head protection in construction, standardize safety signs and signals, regulate work
The document summarizes the main sections of the UK's Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA) that are relevant for the NEBOSH Certificate. Section 1 establishes the purpose of ensuring health, safety and welfare of workers and protecting others from work hazards. Section 2 places duties on employers to ensure worker health and safety, including providing safe equipment, training, and facilities. It also requires consulting with safety representatives. Section 33 establishes penalties for offenses, including fines of up to £20,000 for certain violations. Section 37 makes company directors and managers liable if they consented to or were negligent about offenses committed by their organizations.
The document summarizes the key parts of Section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA) as it relates to employer duties. It outlines the general duty of employers to ensure employee health and safety as far as reasonably practicable. It also describes the specific duties of employers, including providing safe plant/equipment and systems of work, safe handling/storage of substances, training/information, a safe workplace/access/egress, adequate welfare facilities, a written safety policy where required, consultation with safety representatives, and establishing a safety committee if requested in writing. The document is authored by John Johnston AIIRSM and provides a revision on HSWA Section 2 for the NEBOSH Certificate.
The document discusses a presentation given by Andy Gillies at the 2005 HSE Occupational Hygiene Conference. The presentation covers the importance of occupational hygiene, HSE's leadership position in promoting occupational hygiene in the UK, and how industry perceives HSE. It also identifies some key issues for occupational hygiene like emerging risks and challenges working with small and medium enterprises, and discusses barriers to implementing good control practice. The presentation concludes by looking at new challenges for the future of occupational health.
D Part 9 H & S Regs Revision By J Mc CannJames McCann

2. NOISE
Noise Pollution, adverse effects of noise in
our living and working environment.
2
3. Noise is, by definition, unwanted sound. It may
be;
annoying,
interfere with speech communication,
Prevent you from enjoying leisure or relaxation,
at very high levels which may occur at work or
during certain noisy leisure activities, it may
result in hearing loss
3
4. Damage
By causing damage to the hair-cells in the
cochlea in the inner ear.
4
5. Rather than leading to significant adverse
physiological responses, however, noise is more
often a major problem in terms of quality of
human life in specific localities.
5
6. Noise Levels Sound intensities are measured in decibels
(dB). For example, the intensity at the threshold of
hearing is 0 dB, the intensity of whispering is typically
about 10 dB, and the intensity of rustling leaves reaches
almost 20 dB. Sound intensities are arranged on a
logarithmic scale, which means that an increase of 10
dB corresponds to an increase in intensity by a factor of
10. Thus, rustling leaves are about 10 times louder than
whispering. Noise pollution is assessed by measuring
not only sound intensity but also regularity, distance
from source, and pitch.
6
8. REACTIONS TO NOISE
Long-term annoyance is the most convenient and
relevant measure of the impact of noise on the
community.
“Annoyance” tends to be used to describe the general
feeling of aggravation or vexation caused by noise
nuisance.
It is the end of the noise/disturbance/annoyance chain.
General long-term annoyance is the most convenient
and relevant measure of the impact of noise on the
community. It takes account of all the adverse effects
of noise such as disturbance.
8
9. Studies have been carried out to examine the
relationship between exposure to noise from specific
sources (the noise dose) and the annoyance caused (the
response). Even though there is a wide variation in the
annoyance reactions of individuals, the information can
be used to define the “average” dose-response
relationship, or the percentage of the population likely
to display a specific degree of annoyance to a defined
level of noise.
9
10. When the noise is at a sufficiently high level the
opinions may be clear-cut; the noise is the main factor
in determining annoyance.
10
11. At lower levels of noise, the general attitudes of
the community as a whole, or of individual
members of the community, towards the noise
source, may assume greater importance.
11
12. The degree of annoyance may be influenced by
the;
length of time to which a community or an
individual has been exposed to noise,
and by the time of occurrence.
12
13. Sleep Disturbance
Research has shown that many factors affect
sleep quality. About 20 per cent of the
population have sleeping difficulties which are
totally unrelated to noise. Age, sex, attitudes, and
health factors override the impact of noise-
induced sleep disturbance.
13
14. Background noise levels, habituation, bedroom
location, time of night, and the character of any
intruding noise also influence sleep quality.
Bearing this in mind, it is unrealistic and often
impractical to set noise limits to ensure that
sleep will not be affected in any way.
14
15. DESCRIBING NOISE
The level of environmental noise is normally measured with a
Sound Level Meter using the A-weighted decibel scale (dB(A)).
The decibel (dB) is the scale which is used to describe the sound-
pressure level of the sound. It is the logarithm of the ratio of the
measured sound pressure (which is what the eardrum detects)
relative to a reference value, which is a very small sound pressure
which automatically acquires the value 0dB. For every ten-fold
increase in sound pressure, the sound-pressure level increases by
20dB. The term “A-weighting” means that the signal is filtered in
a way that approximates to the frequency sensitivity of the
human ear.
15
16. Equivalent Continuous Noise
Level (LAeq).
The level of noise originating from a source is not the only
consideration affecting its impact; duration is also important.
Sometimes the noise is intermittent (for example, aircraft or train
noise), while sometimes it is more or less continuous (such as
motorway or factory noise). So, where separate noise events are
clearly distinguishable, the important factors are the maximum
level and duration of each event and the number of events in a
given period, while continuous noise is averaged in some way
over the exposure duration. Different methods have been
devised to describe the varying temporal characteristics of
different sources, but the most widely used descriptive standard
for environmental noise is the Equivalent Continuous Noise
Level (LAeq). LAeq describes the noise (in dB(A)) in terms of
the A-weighted acoustical energy of the noise averaged over a
specific time period, and is defined as the level of continuous
noise that would have the same acoustical energy as the actual
noise over the same time period.
16
17. Equal values of LAeq for different sources do not
necessarily elicit the same community reaction. The
different characteristics of the noise, both temporal and
spectral, are factors which play an important role in
determining response, which cannot be adequately
described by a measure of the noise alone. These
differences are normally taken into account when
defining standards and in noise guidelines such as the
UK Planning Policy Guidance PPG 24.
17
18. For example, a report published by Stockholm University for the
World Health Organization in 1995 has concluded that noise
levels outside dwellings should not exceed 55dB(A) to protect
the majority of people from being seriously annoyed, and that
50dB(A) should be considered the maximum desirable. These
levels can be considered as ideal targets, but because of technical,
financial, and practical considerations, exposure levels higher
than these will remain commonplace in the developed world for
some time to come, and noise-exposure standards will be set at
higher levels, although efforts will continue to be made to reduce
them.
18
19. International noise-emission standards
International noise-emission standards are designed to control
the noise emitted by specific machines, such as aircraft, cars, or
industrial equipment.
19
20. Environmental noise exposure
standards
Environmental noise exposure standards and
legislation are, on the other hand, normally
devised by national or local authorities to
provide an acceptable noise environment for
their specific conditions.
20
21. Noise emission levels
depend not only on the noise emitted by particular
sources, but also the distance from the source, and the
use of noise attenuation measures such as noise barriers
or double glazing which may be required to meet
national or local noise emission standards. In order to
ensure that noise levels can be predicted to an
acceptable degree of accuracy and in a consistent
manner, most countries have published official
methods for calculating noise exposure for road traffic,
aircraft, railways, and other types of noise source.
21
22. NOISE IN THE COMMUNITY
Noise from neighbours... now causes more reported complaints
than any other source.
The main sources of noise pollution in the community are
transport sources such as aircraft taking off and landing, road
traffic, and railways; fixed industrial and commercial installations;
construction activities; and (increasingly) leisure activities.
22
23. Noise from neighbours (stereo systems, late-
night comings and goings, children, barking
dogs) now causes more reported complaints
than any other source, but quantifying the
offending noise level is often a part of this type
of problem, which is more a question of
considerate behaviour than noise limits. The
noise level is also dependent on the building’s
construction and the attenuation it provides
between dwellings.
23
24. Road Traffic
Road traffic noise is the most widespread noise source in developed
countries. A study carried out for the European Commission by the French
institution INRETS in 1994 has estimated that some 200 million people in the
European Union (60 per cent of the population) are exposed to levels of road
traffic noise exceeding 55dB(A), and some 132 million (39 per cent) to
60dB(A). In order to reduce exposure, noise emission limits have been
defined for all new vehicle types. The limits have been progressively lowered
over the years, so that the noise emitted by new vehicles in the mid-1990s is
some 8 to 10 dB lower than 20 years before. Most of this effort has reduced
the noise from car engines and ancillary equipment so much that tyre noise,
even on urban roads, is becoming the dominant source, and “quiet” road
surfaces are now being used for some new roads, and quieter tyre designs
being considered. However, despite these efforts, the report predicted that
traffic-noise exposure levels would increase, particularly in the quieter areas,
for the following 10 to 20 years because of the growth in the number of
vehicles.

25. Railways
Although railways are generally seen as the safest, most
economical, and most environmentally friendly of all
conventional transport systems, many countries are now
reappraising the cost of new railways in terms of environmental
impact. This has been particularly true with high-speed railways.
The latest high-speed trains have been designed to be no noisier
than the older and slower conventional trains, but careful
planning of new routes and provision of noise abatement
procedures are still needed to meet environmental standards.
However, trains create a less extensive noise burden than road
traffic, so that, overall, the noise environment may improve.

26. Aircraft
Concern about aircraft noise grew rapidly after World War II and, by the mid-
1960s, it had reached such a level that aviation authorities and manufacturers
realized that noise from the early jet engines needed to be controlled and
reduced in order to create a more acceptable environment.
The predominant source of noise from both jet and propeller-driven aircraft
is the power plant itself. The pressures from environmental lobbies have
driven authorities to establish legislation to control aircraft noise by
certification and the manufacturers have made great strides to reduce noise
from the engines themselves. Noise levels have fallen by about 20dB since the
days of the early jet aircraft, which, even though they are now larger and carry
more passengers, have become far more fuel-efficient and less noisy. Whereas
the early jet engine was dominated by the jet noise and compressor whine, the
latest high-bypass ratio engine is characterized by fan noise both to the front
and rear of the engine and the relatively low level of jet noise.
26
27. While much of the work which has resulted in lower noise emission levels
from jet aircraft was driven by the need to comply with noise certification
requirements, public concern about the noise around airports led to the
introduction of noise exposure standards or limits which are generally based
on LAeq.
Noise exposure contours, normally computer generated, are used to give an
indication of the likely noise impact at any particular location in the vicinity of
an airport. Computer modelling can also be used to evaluate the impact of
any changes, such as modifications to arrival or departure routes, or the
replacement of older, noisier aircraft with newer, quieter ones. However, it
must always be borne in mind that noise exposure contours will never give a
precise prediction of community response.
27
28. Industry
Most manufacturing and industrial operations create noise. In
many cases this may be limited to the plant’s interior, while in
others it will affect the communities in the neighbourhood.
Although the community noise problem was formerly restricted
mainly to heavy manufacturing industry, this is not necessarily
the case today, and small manufacturing or service businesses
which create noise may be located close to residential properties.
The introduction of improved ventilation and heating systems
has resulted in the installation of powerful fans located in the
walls and roofs of buildings which can, if badly positioned, lead
to significant noise levels in the neighbourhood, especially at
night.
28
29. Construction
Construction activities are noisy and have the potential to cause
disturbance in the surrounding communities. Some sources will
generate continuous steady levels (such as fans, extractors, or
compressors), some will be intermittent (such as sawing or
drilling), while others will be impulsive (such as piling).
Environmental noise assessments take the short-term nature of
most construction activities into account by allowing higher
levels than would normally be considered appropriate for long-
term noise exposure.

30. Social Noise
Neighbours make noise; in fact, noise from the living and social
habits of our neighbours is generating more complaints than any
other single source of noise. Sources include domestic
equipment, stereo and TV, animals and children, do-it-yourself
activities, and lawn mowers. Many of these complaints may be a
consequence of poor insulation between multi-occupier
dwellings—which could be improved at the design stage, but not
after construction. Unreasonable and antisocial behaviour causes
a great deal of noise nuisance, but it is essentially a social rather
than an engineering issue. The UK Noise and Statutory Nuisance
Act 1993 now provides powers to authorities to seize noisy
equipment such as stereo systems if the owner does not comply
with an order to reduce the noise level.
30
31. The growing sophistication of leisure activities over the past few
years has led to an increase in noise levels in recreational areas,
with an associated increased potential for nuisance to nearby
residents and other visitors. Sources include power boats, micro
light aircraft, motor cycles, motor racing, clay pigeon shooting,
pop concerts, and model aircraft flying. Codes of practice and
planning regulations are used by the activity organizers and local
authorities in order to minimize the disturbance to residents and
other non-participating users of recreational areas.
31
32. Military Sources
Noise from military sources is generally limited
to noise from military aircraft and from practice
firing ranges. Low-flying aircraft cause
considerable disturbance en route from air bases
to exercise areas, which are usually remote and
often recreational areas (such as the Lake
District in England); the noise is likely to startle
people as the aircraft fly at high speed and at low
altitude. Military helicopters may also exercise in
the vicinity of their bases.
32
33. Practice firing ranges are used for rifle firing,
large artillery, tanks, and sometimes by air-to-
ground missiles. Although operations may be
fairly limited, the high levels of explosive noise
cause a great deal of concern about both noise
and vibration in the surrounding communities.
Good public relations can help to minimize the
adverse impact in these communities.
33
34. Low-Frequency Sources
A small percentage of the population appears to be highly
sensitive to certain types of low-frequency noise, which is
“sensed” rather than heard. In some instances complaints cannot
be related to any identifiable source, but on occasions they can
be traced to specific sources which may be some distance from
the complainant. Once the source is positively identified, it is
sometimes possible to reduce the offending noise quite simply.
Examples of sources which can produce this type of noise
include furnaces, burners, and fans, which might under certain
circumstances set up low-frequency resonance’s within buildings,
although these will normally be at low levels.
