Noise Mapping England: noise mapping industrial sources A methodology for representing industrial sources in a noise model which is simple, reproducible and robust has been developed. This study was undertaken by Bureau Veritas Acoustic Technology (BVAT) Noise Mapping England: aircraft traffic noise This study was carried out to inform mapping processes with regard to the implementation of the National Ambient Noise Strategy and EU Directive 2002/49/EC (25 June 2002), through the production of aircraft noise maps for London Heathrow Airport. EU Directive 2002/49/EC relates to the assessment and management of environmental noise. The study also investigated various technical issues that arise as a result of moving from producing summer average LAeq contours to producing annual average Lden contours. This study was undertaken Environmental Research and consultancy department - Civil Aviation Authority. Noise Mapping England: rail and wheel roughness - implications for noise mapping based on the Calculation of Railway Noise procedure This study investigates technical issues associated with using Calculation of Railway Noise, a method for calculating noise from railways. This study was undertaken by AEA Technology (AEAT). A Review of Published Research on Low Frequency Noise and its Effects This report reviews the available literature concerning the effects, assessment and management of low frequency noise in order to better improve our understanding. It was produced for Defra by Dr Geoff Leventhall; assisted by Dr Peter Pelmear and Dr Stephen Benton. |
