Abstract

The degree of annoyance can usually be anticipated based on familiarity with "average hearing" of the "typical" human listener. With regard to potential noise mitigation the task is to assess the disturbance claim, and, if deemed valid, develop feasible solutions. This paper outlines the application of a relatively new noise control product to provide a "path"-based solution.
