Measurement and Prediction of Combined Noise Sources

摘要

In assessing community noise impact, the effects of multiple noise sources are oftenminimized or ignored. This paper will discuss current measurement and prediction methods for the(normal) situation in which there is more than one noise source. Specific attention will be given tothe use of noise events and of multiple monitors in field measurements. Community noise sourcesdiscussed will include aircraft noise, trains, background noise, and sounds of nature. Availablemethods will also be discussed for combining these same sources in community noise prediction.
