A Method for the Prediction of Noise Levels at Construction Site Boundaries

Prior to starting construction work in Japan, it recently has become necessary to predict the noise pollution level caused by construction equipment at the job site boundaries.

This led to the development of a simple, inexpensive but relatively precise computer program and method for noise prediction.

Input for the computer program requires measurement of the noise level of each machine used on the construction project.

Accuracy of the method has been experimentally verified by actual field tests.
