Abstract:
The Blue Ridge Parkway National Park provided an environment where sound level measurements could be made for numerous motorcycle pass-by events. Data were examined for five motorcycle categories: cruiser, sport, dual purpose, touring, and moped/scooter, in terms of broadband sound levels and on a spectral basis (one-third octave bands). Then the cruiser category was examined further since these motorcycles generated the loudest and some of the quietest measured sound levels. Initial investigations were made for the following: sound levels for groups of motorcycles, sound levels at sensitive receiver locations, and predictions of sound levels using five motorcycle categories in a special research version of the FHWA Traffic Noise Model® (TNM®).
