Physics of sound
Sound is a pressure fluctuation, travelling in waves
Valve rotation = 100 /secFrequency of Sound = 100 Hz
Loudspeaker
Sound can vary in frequency (pitch) and level (magnitude)

Frequency weighting
“A” weighting: Response of the human ear
Commonly used for industrial and environmental noise assessment

Sound Level – The decibel (dB) scale
Pressure Scale is Impractical
Decibel scale chosen for convenience
Hearing response is logarithmic rather than linear
Lawnmower (85 dB) + Lawnmower (85 dB) = 88 dB
Typical sound pressure levels

Common Misconceptions“Trees act as an acoustic barrier” –
No! Need at least 100m of dense bush for 3 dB reduction
“Putting eggboxes on the walls of my band room means I can play as loud as I like”
No! Too light to insulate against noise.
“Sound travels upwards”
No! Sound travels in all directions.

NZS 6806:2010“Acoustics – Road-traffic noise –
New and altered road”
![Page 12: Sound1.01 and Environmental Noise Presented to the Young RMLA by Siiri Wilkening](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051515/551a2b0f5503463e778b473e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Basic Considerations
Virtually everyone contributes and is affected
Not entirely controllable
Flexibility and pragmatism
Based on RMA, specifically BPO
![Page 13: Sound1.01 and Environmental Noise Presented to the Young RMLA by Siiri Wilkening](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051515/551a2b0f5503463e778b473e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
LimitationsApplies only if project has (some) adverse effect
Minimum performance for mitigation
Defined assessment area (100/200 m from road)
Maintenance excluded (e.g. resurfacing)
![Page 14: Sound1.01 and Environmental Noise Presented to the Young RMLA by Siiri Wilkening](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051515/551a2b0f5503463e778b473e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

NZS 6806: BPO Assessment
Iterative process
Input from entire Project Team
Advantage:
robust and practicable mitigation
Implications:
Time!!! and potential confusion
![Page 19: Sound1.01 and Environmental Noise Presented to the Young RMLA by Siiri Wilkening](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051515/551a2b0f5503463e778b473e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Main IssuesCriteria:
Category C (internal) perceived “better” than
Categories A and B (external)
Uncertainty:
no definitive “limit”
(Note: condition formulation)
Inclusion of cost:
It’s a dirty word!
