This module marks the commencement of the Essentials of Noise programme.  The module will deal with the basics of sound propagation, calculations, monitoring and evaluation.  This module will provide the basis for understanding and assimilation of the more technically complex aspects of regulation and enforcement of noise.  The module is designed to practical and pragmatic.  The focus will be on what regulators need to know to properly evaluate submitted reports and place them into context.

This module is the second of the Essentials of Noise programme. It provides a review of the key legislation and guidance associated with regulatory noise control.  The module will provide a detailed review of law and application, and enforcement of statutory nuisance, planning law, licensing law and environmental permitting law as they relate to noise.

This module continues the Essentials of Noise programme.  The module will provide delegates with a practical understanding of the basic concepts, development and construction of noise models and look at how they are used in determining compliance with appropriate standards.

This module will introduce some practical aspects of noise reporting and evaluation and also serve as a quick review of the key aspects of the previous 4 modules, drawing together the materials provided in other modules to evaluate noise reports and understand how conditions and notices should be drafted.  The module will be based on review of a number of case study examples.  The examples will be provided and delegates will have the opportunity to work through the examples with the guidance of trainers.  The focus of the day will be to arrive at reasoned, evidenced, technically and legally sustainable conclusion.

BS4142 is produced the most commonly applied (and abused) noise impact standard used in the UK.  This webinar will provide a review of the BS4142 standard, taking the delegates through the intended uses, through to the method required by BS4142 to perform an assessment, and then reviewing the results of the assessment including the knotty problem of context.

This webinar will provide delegates with a detailed understanding of what is required to conduct a BS44142 assessment, including measurement strategies (locations, when to measure or model, and how to calculate levels as required by the standard), the use and application acoustic feature corrections, and interpretation of the outcome.

The webinar will be illustrated with examples to ensure that a practical approach is maintained.

The webinar will finish with a review of the potential issues associated with use of the standard, how it might be misapplied and how the reporting requirement inherent within the standard can help to minimise misuse.

The session will be essential for delegates who are new to dealing with noise and BS4142 assessments, but also useful to experienced delegates who will benefit from the detailed discussions around acoustic feature correction, uncertainty assessment, and application of the standard.

This webinar will review noise mitigation methodology.   The session will provide a review of how a noise mitigation target can be calculated and then take the delegates through the options for noise mitigation.  The webinar will focus on the mitigation requirements for the town and county planning process and will review the challenges faced by developers in meeting appropriate noise targets.

The webinar will review in detail the techniques and technologies used for noise control, including any updates on new advances in some of these techniques.  The webinar will provide details on the common mitigation technique based on:

It will also include other variants of the above and look at some emerging new technologies used in specific case studies.
