Noise Control in Alberta

Authors

  • H. W. Jones Physics Dept., University of Calgary

Abstract

The Provincial and Municipal Governments of Alberta have attempted a variety of measures for the abatment and control of environmental noise. The origins, contents and effectiveness of the measures are outlined and commented on. Several major studies have and are being conducted by both levels of government in their attempts to improve their ability to deal with these problems. This work is described in outline and the special difficulties related to the conduct of this work because of the lack of sufficient professionally trained man-power will be described. The difficulties of finding the appropriate solutions to particular problems especially in regard to urban planning, economic impact and the fostering of good public relations is discussed by reference to the role of the acoustician in a multi-discipline team. The problems which exist for Municipal and Provincial Governments because of the presently inadequate national regulations relating to some aspects of noise control is also discussed.
