Chapter 3—Environmental Analysis, Impacts, and Mitigation Section 3.11—Noise and Vibration Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension—Azusa to Montclair Draft Environmental Impact Report 3.11-1 August 2012 3.11 NOISE AND VIBRATION This section examines potential noise and vibration impacts of the project. The analysis addresses existing conditions, predicts noise and vibration levels during operation, and evaluates measures to minimize potential significant noise and vibration impacts. The project limits for the impact assessment extend from Citrus Avenue border of the City of Glendora to Central Avenue in the City of Montclair. The noise and vibration analysis considers a “worst case” scenario for potential project impacts based on the train maximum design speeds of up to 65 miles per hour. Trains operating at high speeds would result in high predicted noise and vibration levels, while trains operating at lower speeds would result in lower predicted noise and vibration levels. 3.11.1 Background on Noise Noise is typically defined as unwanted or undesirable sound, where sound is characterized by small air pressure fluctuations above and below the atmospheric pressure. The basic parameters of environmental noise that affect human response to sound are: Intensity or level Frequency content Variation with time Intensity is determined by how greatly the sound pressure fluctuates above and below the atmospheric pressure, and is expressed on a logarithmic scale in units of decibels (dB). By using this scale, the range of normally encountered sound can be expressed by values between 0 and 120 dB. In addition, the dB scale corresponds to how humans perceive sound loudness. On a relative basis, a 3-dB change in sound level generally represents a noticeable change in loudness, whereas a 10-dB change is typically perceived as a doubling (or halving) in the loudness of a sound. The frequency content of noise is related to the tone or pitch of the sound, and is expressed based on the rate of the air pressure fluctuations in cycles per second called hertz (Hz). The human ear can detect frequencies from about 20 Hz to 17,000 Hz; however, the sensitivity of human hearing varies with frequency. The A-weighting system is commonly used when measuring environmental noise to which humans are most sensitive. This system provides a single-number descriptor that correlates with the subjective human response. Sound levels measured using this weighting system are called “A-weighted” sound levels and are expressed as “dBA.” Figure 3.11-1 includes examples of A-weighted sound levels from common indoor and outdoor noise sources.
