    manipulate the units to calculate the level of noise which could
    constitute excess levels.
  • Calculate the percentile noise levels that will make up an
    environmental noise measurement.
  • Justify a noise measurement that can be considered unacceptable
    to residents.
  • Describe the instrumentation used to measure environmental noise.
  • Explain how the human hearing mechanism works and the levels of
