  2. Noise pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_pollution

    Noise pollution may have caused the death of certain species of whales that beached themselves after being exposed to the loud sound of military sonar. [70] (see also Marine mammals and sonar) Up until recently, most research on noise impacts has been focused on marine mammals, and to a lesser degree, fish.

  3. Noise Control Act - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_Control_Act

    The Noise Pollution and Abatement Act of 1972 is a statute of the United ... which is often included nowadays in environmental impact assessments for new urban ...

  4. Environmental impact assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Environmental_impact_assessment

    The Environmental Impact Assessment Law (EIA Law) requires that an environmental impact assessment be completed prior to project construction. However, if a developer completely ignores this requirement and builds a project without submitting an environmental impact statement, the only penalty is that the environmental protection bureau (EPB ...

  5. Noise control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_control

    An effective model for noise control is the source, path, and receiver model by Bolt and Ingard. [9] Hazardous noise can be controlled by reducing the noise output at its source, minimizing the noise as it travels along a path to the listener, and providing equipment to the listener or receiver to attenuate the noise.

  6. Environmental noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_noise

    Environmental noise is an accumulation of noise pollution that occurs outside. This noise can be caused by transport, industrial, and recreational activities. [1] Noise is frequently described as 'unwanted sound'. Within this context, environmental noise is generally present in some form in all areas of human, animal, or environmental activity.

  7. Phase I environmental site assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_I_environmental_site...

    Environmental Assessment has little to do with the subject of hazardous substance liability, but rather is a study preliminary to an Environmental Impact Statement, which identifies environmental impacts of a land development action and analyzes a broad set of parameters including biodiversity, environmental noise, water pollution, air ...

  8. Noise measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_measurement

    Noise measurement can also be part of a test procedure using white noise, or some other specialized form of test signal.In audio systems and broadcasting, specific methods are used to obtain subjectively valid results in order that different devices and signal paths may be compared regardless of the inconsistent spectral distribution and temporal properties of the noise that they generate.

  9. Noise calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_calculation

    Noise experts and some small specialized companies have slowly developed a limited number of calculation tools, which have increased in number and become more user-friendly, covering more application cases, and adding service elements to the noise calculation tools. The noise calculation process is complex in input (gathering data, correctly ...
