Acoustics Lab 2: Environmental Parameters and Noise Assessment Report

This acoustics laboratory report details an environmental noise assessment conducted at four locations in London, UK. The study aimed to measure ambient noise levels using a sound level meter, adhering to British Standard BS 7445-1:2003. Measurements, including LAeq, LA10, LA50, LA90, and LAFmax, were taken over a five-minute period at each site, considering factors like traffic, construction, and human activity. The report includes details of the experimental method, instrument calibration, and site descriptions, along with photographic documentation. The findings are intended to provide practical experience in noise measurement and analysis, contributing to the understanding of environmental noise and its potential impact, with implications for planning applications and legislative compliance.
