Building and Safety. During the intervening years‚ enforcement efforts revealed a need to further define the enforcement responsibilities‚ to incorporate new sound level measurement procedures‚ and to establish complaint enforcement expertise within the department. The City Council amended the Noise Ordinance on March 29‚ 1982‚ to include new sound level measurement procedures‚ reconcile conflicting noise level limits‚ and more clearly define enforcement responsibilities of concerned City departments

reaching a peak of 117 dB in the Kalachowkie area. Similarly‚ the 10th day Ganpati celebrations in 2012 saw decibel levels in the range of 90-110 dB‚ setting a new record at 121.4 dB at Girgaum Chowpatty. Continuous exposure to such high-decibel sound leads to health issues like hypertension‚ sleep disturbance‚ tinnitus (ringing of the ears) and even acute hearing loss. Babies and young children are especially vulnerable. Sumaira Abdulali‚ convenor of Awaaz Foundation‚ says that many teenagers in

Wave Interactions Waves that meet each other or an object in the environment may interact. There are several types of interactions that waves may have. Reflection occurs when a wave bounces back after striking a barrier. Reflected sound waves are called echoes; reflected light waves allow us to see objects. Refraction is the bending of a wave as it passes at an angle from one medium to another. One common example of refraction of light waves is the broken pencil effect that can be observed when a

Ever since then‚ I have had a special interest in this instrument and how it works. This paper will examine with the viewpoint of a physicist how didgeridoos are constructed‚ their acoustic properties‚ and why it is they can make such a wide range of sounds. Didgeridoos are ancient instruments that are quite simply and naturally constructed. The physicist could explain their design as nothing more complex than a hollow tube or pipe. Technically the instrument is made from eucalyptus branches that

et al.‚ 2014). Participants’ feedback from the test is determined from both sides of the neck muscles called the sternocleidomastoid (Fowler‚ et al.‚ 2014). One electrode is placed on each side of the neck allowing the experimenters to measure the sound vibrations and time it take for the vibrations to reach the inner ear. Fowler‚ et al. (2014)‚ hypothesized that if motion sickness results from vertical stimulation‚ then the participants with motion sickness sensitivity may be expected to have different

In the period from 1945-1990‚ composers demonstrate a vast change to the traditional conventions that are built from traditional conventions in their work. The breaking away from the compositional devices traditionally used originated from the broad variety of the concepts of music that become part of ‘the music of the next century’. These concepts created unconventional features‚ used to investigate new formations in composers works. These new unconventional and traditional compositional devices

Subject C’s conversational speech included characteristics of Black English. No other subject had any additional speech‚ language‚ or neurological differences. 2.2. Materials All testing and data collection were conducted in one side of a double-walled‚ sound-treated‚ audiometric test suite. The DAF conditions (55‚ 80‚ and 105 ms delays) were created by a Phonic Mirror mini DAF (Model PM 505) and the gain was arbitrarily set at 20 dB for each subject.

ULTRASOUND An ultrasound is a medical imaging technique uses high frequency sound waves to look inside the body. During World War 2‚ there was a lot of research of radar and sonar which led to the invention and progress of the ultrasound device. It was invented by Ian Donald in 1957. It was first tested on a pregnant woman but later used for more purposes. The ultrasound was improved and also led to the development of other useful medical instruments such as the device CAVITRON‚ which destroys

filtered speech experiment was to look for three things. The first was to see/hear which frequencies can be eliminated from speech signal and conversely which frequencies can not in order to understand speech. The second purpose was to learn more about sound filters; and the third was to understand what it is like to experience hearing loss. Instrumentation The instruments we used during this experiment were: 1) Low pass filter of the Coulbourn insrument 2) Tape recorder 3) Tape of two syllable words

The Swim As I sit at the edge of my seat‚ goggles in hand‚ I nervously wait my turn. "100 m swimmers‚ you’re up next‚" calls the lady with the scripts. The horn sounds loudly to signal the start of the race before me. The water is splashing‚ crowd cheering‚ sun shining‚ and then there was me. I was so nervous I could have melted waiting in that plastic chair because of the heat beating down on me. I wanted that blue ribbon so bad I would have inhaled water to get it. "Time!" "Got it!"
