Extractions: Transportation planning and project development must reflect the desires of communities, and take into account the impacts on both the natural and human environments. Transportation projects are closely looked at to see how they might impact the community, the natural environment, and our health and welfare. Before any project can move forward to construction, the FHWA must address and comply with laws related to the environment. These laws cover social, economic, and environmental concerns ranging from community cohesion to threatened and endangered species. To get through this detailed process, FHWA and FTA use the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process to evaluate impacts associated with each individual project. Three Offices within the Federal Highway Administration focus on environmental protection and enhancement. The Office of Natural Environment primarily focuses on environmental programs associated with air quality, noise, and water quality. The Office of Human Environment primarily focuses on programs associated with the built environment, including transportation enhancements, community programs, and public involvement. The Office of NEPA Facilitation focuses on NEPA project development process as a balanced and streamlined approach to transportation decisionmaking that takes into account the potential impacts on both human and natural resources and the public's need for safe and efficient transportation improvements. Information regarding the full range of FHWA environmental programs can be found on this website. If you don't see the topic you are looking for, check our

http://www.chs.ca/info/noise/book4.html

Extractions: To understand noise and its effects on people, we need to understand specific noise environments. Depending upon the intensity of the sound, the length of time and how often over time the ear is exposed to it, noise affects our human condition in a number of ways from increased stress levels to permanent hearing loss. Excessive noise exists in our homes, in our workplaces and in our recreational pursuits. "It's a jungle out there." Our urban environment is crowded, busy and noisy! Jackhammers pounding, sirens whining, alarms ringing, subway trains screeching, aircraft zooming overhead, car horns honking - these are but a few of the annoying and potentially hazardous sounds that city dwellers are almost constantly exposed to.

Extractions: List of all indicators' factsheets (PDF) Noise Noise is a serious issue - levels over 40 Ldn dB(A) affect our well-being, while there is evidence that levels over 60 Ldn dB(A) can affect our physical and psychological health. While the last two decades have seen significant reductions in the noise produced by all sorts of vehicles, the rapid growth in transport particularly air and road has resulted in well over 120 million people in the EU being exposed to noise levels above 55 Ldn dB(A) on the front facade of their houses.

http://www.epa.vic.gov.au/Students/Noise/

Extractions: Prescribed Noise and Prohibited Times Everyone has a different tolerance to noise. The means that one person may be disturbed by a relatively low level of traffic noise and someone else may be able to tolerant it at a higher level. Tolerance to noise is influenced by the degree of acclimatisation (how we get used to it), the level and type of intruding noise and the level of the background noise at the time. Particular activities will influence your tolerance. For example, if you wish to sleep or do homework you may be less tolerant to noise than if you were watching television or listening to your own music. Noise pollution can disturb our work, concentration, relaxation and sleep. It can cause stress and create or worsen physical problems such as high blood pressure, chronic exhaustion and heart disease. A quieter environment is a restful place that promotes relaxation and a happier and healthier community because neighbourhood noise can cause annoyance by disrupting normal domestic activities such as reading or watching television. EPA Victoria coordinates the control of environmental noise in Victoria along with local councils.

http://www.newrules.org/environment/noise.html

Extractions: The Noise Pollution Clearinghouse is the primary on-line resource for noise pollution information. Noise pollution is an intrusion into the commons. When boom boxes, leaf blowers, and jet ski's emit their sounds, they degrade the quality of the environment for everyone else. Many communities are fighting back, asserting their right to responsibly control excessive noise in public spaces. Noise ordinances come in many shapes. Some are source-specific, limiting or banning the use of certain devices. Others are general, covering all potential noise sources. In this section we include what we consider to be the best of these codes. RULES: Chapel Hill, North Carolina Noise Code The Noise Control Code for Chapel Hill sets maximum permitted sound levels for certain times and days of the week. The town set the acceptable noise level during the day at 60 decibels (about the volume of conversational speech heard from a foot away), and 50 decibels at night (the equivalent of the noise in an average office). While many cities have noise caps, Chapel Hill's code is stringent enough that it will actually restrict noise. More...

http://www.hants.gov.uk/environment/noise.html

Extractions: The European Commission has produced a number of directives which seek to draw a balance between reducing noise in the environment and ensuring that regulations in individual member states do not create barriers to trade. There are individual directives relating to noise from motor vehicles, motorcycles, aircraft, lawnmowers and machinery. The overall responsibility for noise policy in the United Kingdom lies with the Department of the Environment. However, the Department of Transport deals with noise from motor vehicles, aircraft and ships and the Department of Employment is responsible for controlling noise within the workplace, through the Health and Safety Executive. The CivilAviation Authority implements the requirements of the Civil Aviation Act 1982, which includes provisions to control aircraft noise. U.K. noise legislation is mainly contained in the Control of Pollution Act 1974 (Part III) and the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (Part II). These acts give district councils (through their Environmental Health Officers) responsibility to determine whether noise nuisance exists and powers to protect citizens from noise by a variety of means, including the designation of Noise Abatement Zones and the serving of Noise Abatement orders.
