Abstract

1. Scope--This SAE Standard sets forth measurement procedures and instrumentation to be used for determining a "representative" sound level during a representative time period at selected measurement locations on a construction site boundary. The document is not intended for use in determining occupational hearing damage risk. Determination of a representative time period is left to the judgment of the user. 1.1 Purpose--The purpose of this SAE document is to set forth procedures that may be used by construction site management for self-regulation and construction site planning or by state and local officials for the enforcement of construction site noise regulations. Two measurement methods are provided to obtain the time-integrated equivalent sound level, Leq, emitted by construction site activity. First, a sampling procedure is recommended for use with a sound level meter. Second, a measurement procedure using an integrating sound level meter is presented. The latter procedure is generally preferred. Use of this document provides sound level data representative of the complex time-varying sounds emitted by construction activities, which may be used to estimate community reaction to the construction activity.
