Environmental Noise
Services provided:
- Surveys of noise levels at boundaries of existing commercial and industrial facilities with residential areas and at sensitive receivers.
- Surveys of background noise levels at boundaries and community locations to develop noise acceptability criteria.
- Reviews of community noise codes and zoning codes to identify potential noise criteria and measurement parameters.
- Comparisons of received noise levels to measured background noise levels and to noise criteria contained in community codes.
- Investigations of noise sources contributing to the received noise levels.
- Investigations of potential noise mitigations.
- Development of computerized noise assessment models to:
- Assess noise emissions from existing and planned facilities,
- Characterize potential noise impacts,
- Identify prominent noise sources, and
- Investigate sound attenuation from potential noise mitigation measures.
- Preparation of noise sections of Environmental Impact Studies.
- Follow-
up surveys after noise mitigations have been applied.
