This toolbox talk is suitable for anyone involved in theassessment of noise and has been prepared to specifically assist with the understanding of some of the common calculations used within noise assessments.
It's sometimes been said by some in Environmental Health circles that some officers would rather have nails removed with rusty pliers than ‘do’ noise. The reason, when we get down to it, is normally that “doing” noise involves calculations and maths, and that is certainly true! However, the maths, and the theory underpinning those calculations doesn’t have to be frightening or particularly challenging. A few simple rules, and a basic understanding of the first principles of the way sound works, can provide a reliable toolkit for helping assess even some of the most complex noise reports and problems.
Often all that is required is to verify someone else’s work, and simple calculation tools and the first principles of acoustics are sufficient! This toolbox talk aims to provide the key information to feel comfortable with noise, and the basic calculations you need in order to verify and validate a noise report. The session will also help go back to the basics of how sound works in the environment, and demystify terms like ‘propagation’.
The session also provides reference to some useful online tools that may also assist in day to day work.
