Analysis of Community and Airport Relationships Noise Abatement. Volume II. Development of Aircraft Noise Compatibility Criteria for Varied Land Uses

摘要

The report describes two simplified procedures for analyzing aircraft noise in the vicinity of airports to determine: (a) whether or not aircraft noise will interfere with work activities or land use, and (b) what building arrangements and construction features should be incorporated in building design so that aircraft noise will not interfere with planned activities inside buildings. The first procedure is general in nature and defines aircraft noise acceptability criteria for broad categories of land use (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.). The second procedure provides methods for developing aircraft noise criteria for specific work activities having varying degrees of dependence upon speech communication or freedom from noise interference; it also specifies methods for evaluating the noise protection afforded by different types of building construction and building arrangements.
