Noise Analysis Process Noise Analysis Process Woodrow Wilson � Verify land use and potential noise sensitive areas Bridge Project � Establish noise measurement locations � Complete ambient noise measurements � Use FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM) computer modeling to establish the Existing, No-build and Build conditions � Determine traffic noise impacts – 66 dBA or 10 dBA increase over existing � If impacts exist, determine if there are feasible and reasonable measures that will abate the impacts � Present results to VDOT Noise Abatement Committee � Incorporate recommended abatement into construction documents 8
