Noise Monitoring

Objective:Conduct community noise measurements at 14 sites (10 community sites and 4 runway ) for 7 days to supplement the INM analysis

Requirements:– Minimum Interference– Security and protection from outside tampering– Accessibility

Noise Monitoring

Noise monitoring equipment consists of: – Microphone– Sound level meter secured in a small box

Equipment registers sound levels, but does NOTrecord conversations– Daily access to the sound level meter is

required so that Wyle staff can download data
