Abstract:This handbook provides best-practice guidance on recognizing which measurement methodologies apply to which project type (Section 1.0), how to plan a noise measurement program (Section 2.0), descriptions of measurement methodologies and related considerations (Sections 3.0- 15.0), terminology (Section 16.0, Appendix A) and measurement instrumentation (Section 17.0, Appendix B) related to highway traffic noise, example report documentation for measurements (Section 18.0, Appendix C), and supporting material for various methodologies (Sections 19.0-21.0, Appendices D-F). Sections 3.0 and 4.0 are directly applicable to the conduct of traffic noise studies required by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) noise regulation in 23 CFR 772. Section 22 is a bibliography. The information provided in this handbook is based on the 1996 FHWA Measurement of Highway-Related Noise, and is based upon current national and international standards and practice updates. This handbook should be viewed as best-practice guidance and not direction as to how the work must be done. Some project sponsors have established and use their own procedures, which typically would be followed in the event of a conflict.
