CCCH9008 Noise Pollution and Control in HK Two important characteristics of sound or noise Frequency of Sound Sound is the quickly varying pressure wave travelling through a medium. When sound travels through air‚ the atmospheric pressure varies periodically. The number of pressure variations per second is called the frequency of sound‚ and is measured in Hertz (Hz) - cycles per second. Loudness A loud noise usually has a larger pressure variation and a weak one has smaller pressure variation

and Feasibility of Noise Abatement at Special Use Locations I. INTRODUCTION Most states have policies in place that determine whether noise abatement is necessary and reasonable/feasible for Type I projects. These policies mirror federal guidance and apply to various land uses near the proposed project. Special land use facilities such as parks‚ churches and schools are included in the policy as far as when abatement may be necessary (i.e. the Federal Highway Administration Noise Abatement Criteria)
