Abstract

A working party has considered the proliferation of noise scales and noise indices. If planning policy for noise and new development was to be coherent, then standards of acceptable noise from different sources ought to be consistent. In turn this consistency seemed to require that noise from all sources be measured and rated on a unified scale. The adaptation of the equivalent sound level, Leq as the unified measure of noise is recommended.
