Noise Measurements

Noise measurements were carried out at the project site using Sound Level Meter. The 24-hourly sound levels were measured at each location during 20 and 21 November 2014. Equivalent Sound Energy Levels or Leq Leq was computed using following the statistical relationship by the noise levels recorded during measurements: Leq = L50 + (L10 - L90)2 /60 Where L90 = the noise levels exceed 90 percent of the time L50 = the noise levels exceed 50 percent of the time L10 = the noise levels exceed 10 percent of the time It may be noted here that L10, L50 and L90 values can be considered as peak, average and background sound pressure levels at each location, respectively. Day and Night Time Leq Values Day and night time Leq values have been computed from hourly Leq values and given in Table 3 for 20 and 21 November 2014, respectively.
