Subject: Noise Environment Sub-Committee - Initial Proposal Author: Motorola Date August 11, 1999 Task Definition In response to FCC requests, the TAC formed three sub-committees covering various topics impacting radio spectrum policy. These topics were Software Radio, Ultra Wideband Radio and the Noise Environment. The charter of the Noise Environment sub-committee was defined as follows. Noise Environment Sub-Committee Charter Assess and report to the Commission the current state of knowledge on electromagnetic noise levels and the effects of such noise on the reliability of existing and future communications systems. Identify, if possible, man made causes of electromagnetic noise that have or are likely to have harmful effects on wireless communications. Identify issues or causes of man made electromagnetic noise that justify FCC attention or action. Determine what types (if any) of electromagnetic noise create significant concerns and suggest technical approaches for obtaining sufficient information on the subject Scope Our approach to addressing this charter was to first define the scope of this effort. We felt that potential noise from RF communication devices (Cell phones, two-way radios, microwave equipment, etc), other types of devices (e.g. computers, cars, power lines, industrial equipment) and natural phenomena (atmospheric noise, sun spots) should be included as possible sources.

On my shunt-fed tower, in daytime, the S-meter on my Mark V (which is extremely generous below S9) reads a steady S9 +10 with the radio in USB mode and the standard filters in use. Switching to a K9AY loop 350 feet away from the tower (with a 20 dB preamp) drops the level of the noise to S7-8. I have listened to the noise in both USB and AM positions, and do not hear the 60 Hz AC arc sound that I have gotten used to in my efforts to track down power-line noise. I can't rotate the loop, so I tried listening on 80, where I have a 4-directional K3LR-style lazy-vee array, and the noise definitely peaks, by a few dB, in one direction, and is materially lower in the opposite direction (the array has a wide forward lobe but pretty substantial F/B ratio). I can make some recordings if anyone with an expert ear thinks hearing it would be useful.

general plan CITY OF BIG BEAR LAKE GENERAL PLAN Resolution No. 99-36, 8/23/99 NOISE ELEMENT EXISTING COMMUNITY NOISE ENVIRONMENT In the City of Big Bear Lake, the primary source of noise is motor vehicle traffic, primarily along the Highway 18 - Big Bear Boulevard corridor. To a lesser but occasionally substantial degree, boats and other watercraft using the lake are a source of disruptive noise, and aircraft traffic also contributes an intrusive element to the noise environment. Other sources of community noise include mechanical equipment serving commercial land uses, resorts and major institutions, i. e., snowmaking machines. In addition, with the growing number of commercial entertainment venues, noise from amplified music and entertainment has become a concern to adjacent lodge owners and residential neighborhoods, particularly in the areas near the Lake where sound carries for long distances. Motor Vehicle Noise (Landcraft) The principal noise source measured (1997) within the community is vehicular traffic, including automobiles, trucks, buses, and motorcycles. The level of noise generated by vehicular traffic generally varies according to the volume of traffic, the percentage of trucks, and average traffic and other sources at several locations in the community on local noise environments. Table N-4 presents projected noise contours along arterial corridors at current traffic levels and at General Plan buildout.

general plan CITY OF BIG BEAR LAKE GENERAL PLAN Resolution No. 99-36, 8/23/99 NOISE ELEMENT MANAGING THE NOISE ENVIRONMENT There are a variety of strategies available for managing the City's noise environment and preserving those qualities of peace and quiet that are essential in maintaining a high quality of life. Land use planning, transportation planning, project design mitigation, construction materials and techniques, and acoustical barriers are available strategies to mitigate noise impacts. In areas subject to potentially significant noise impacts, site planning and design standards can be used to reduce noise impacts. Applied mitigation measures may include but not be limited to the use of buffer zones containing earthen berms, walls and landscaping between sensitive land uses and roadways or other noise sources. In addition, site planning and building orientation can provide shielding of outdoor living spaces, and windows may be oriented away from noise sources. Acoustical materials can also be incorporated into building windows and walls to attenuate outdoor noise to acceptable indoor levels.

Noise is determined by converting the output of a microphone transducing the spoken instruction into a single polarity signal that is smoothed with a long time constant. The single polarity variation is also smoothed with a shorter time constant. The signals with the long and short constants are applied to a comparator that derives a bi-level output signal. In response to transitions in first and second directions of the bi-level signal lasting for first and second durations, the start and end signals are respectively derived.

The only noise sensitive receptor in the vicinity of the site is a home on the west side of the project site near its northern end. This home is serviced by River Road. It is approximately 300 feet from the closest point where excavation will occur, and 2,500 to 3,000 feet from the active areas of the processing plant. The site is presently in agricultural use, as is the surrounding land. Thus, the sound of heavy equipment is intermittently common in the area. The land is generally level, but with gentle undulations. At the present time, sound transmission is limited due to ground absorption, as well as shielding by interposing topography. After the lake has been formed, sound will propagate more effectively over water. The traffic generated by trucks, and other vehicles associated with the proposed project, will travel on the existing surface streets. These are generally level and in part pass through residential districts, particularly east of the site, where, at a distance of some 5 miles, one enters the suburbs of Chico.

Search this site: Advanced Search About the Ministry Courts Other Ministry Services ... Related Sites Environment Court The Environment Court, formerly called the Planning Tribunal, is constituted by the Resource Management Amendment Act 1996. It is a court of record consisting of Environment Judges (who are also District Court Judges) and Environment Commissioners. The Court has registries in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, and holds sittings throughout the country. Except for hearing enforcement proceedings that involve questions of law, sittings are usually constituted by one Environment Judge and two Environment Commissioners Parties before the Court are usually represented by lawyers, but anyone may appear in person, or be represented by any other agent. The Court is not bound by the rules of evidence and the proceedings are often less formal than the general courts. Most of the Court's work involves public interest questions. Because of the gravity and complexity of the subject matter of the proceedings, oral decisions can seldom be given, and decisions are usually reserved - meaning that a written judgement is delivered at a later date. Jurisdiction and Examples of the Court's Work Issues Arising in Environment Court Hearings The following summarises the nature of the Court's jurisdiction under various enactments.

147th ASA Meeting, New York, NY Lay Language Paper Index Press Room Does A Little Noise Exposure Help Our Hearing? Gerald Fleischer - gerald.fleischer@gmx.net Reinhard Mueller University of Giessen Giessen, Germany Popular version of papers 1aNS6 and 1aNS7 Presented Monday morning, May 26, 2004 147th ASA Meeting, New York, NY According to prevailing concepts, sound is more or less detrimental to the ear. Loud noise can cause permanent auditory damage as well as rapid aging of hearing. Hence, it is generally assumed that persons not exposed to noise hear excellently and their hearing capability ages only slowly, if at all. For more than a decade our group has been working on the relation between exposure to sound and auditory performance. We are only examining healthy persons, of all ages, and we are especially interested in studying and comparing entire groups of persons: office personnel, construction workers, high-school students, university students, airline pilots, dentists, orchestra musicians, fans of discotheques, avoiders of discotheques, etc. In order to determine the hearing capabilities of persons not exposed to noise, we conducted - in cooperation with FMM University in Xian - a field study in remote parts of China, examining Tibetian nomads, Tibetian monks, and peasants from the Qin-Ling mountain range. All told, we now have data on roughly ten thousand volunteers in our database. Special analytical procedures permit direct comparisons between the various groups. We also separate, by program, persons with good hearing from those with auditory damage. This makes it possible to compare only the good-hearing persons of the various groups, or the persons with auditory damage. A ranking of the groups according to the quality of hearing leads to unexpected results. On top of the listwith the best hearingare groups that live and work in an acoustic environment that is loud, but not excessively loud. At the bottom of the list are groups that are exposed to excessive noise but also those who are not exposed to noise at all. While excessive levels of noise undoubtedly damage the ear, hearing appears to suffer for those who grow up and live in a low-noise environment. We may call this "auditory deprivation," and it prevents the auditory system from fully developing its potential.
