Abstract:

The Roadway Construction Noise Model (RCNM) is the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) national model

for the prediction of construction noise. Due to the fact that construction is often conducted in close

proximity to residences and businesses, construction noise must be controlled and monitored to avoid impacts

on surrounding communities. In addition to community issues, excessive noise can threaten a construction

projects’ progress. Each project needs to balance the community’s need for peace and quiet with the

contractor’s need to progress the work.

During the Central Artery/Tunnel (CA/T) project in Boston, Massachusetts, the project’s noise control

program developed the Construction Noise Control Specification 721.560, the most comprehensive noise

specification ever developed in the United States. As part of the CA/T project noise control program, a

construction noise prediction spreadsheet was developed. Because the CA/T prediction tool can benefit other

state and local governments, the FHWA developed the RCNM, which is based on the noise prediction

calculations and equipment database used in the CA/T prediction spreadsheet. The RCNM provides a

construction noise screening tool to easily predict construction noise levels and determine compliance with

noise limits for a variety of construction noise projects of varying complexity.
