A Very Basic Guide to Noise and Noise Measurement

The aim is to provide some basic information on noise at an easily understood level, together with some practical advice on making noise measurements, simple calculations and interpreting reports, hopefully allowing you to avoid the most obvious errors.It includes some very basic information about noise nuisance, noise at work, and noise legislation that will be of assistance to readers who may be less familiar with these topics.This book is primarily focused on England & Wales, though of course the basic principles will be relevant wherever noise measurements are carried out.This second edition was updated in 2021 to reflect changes in guidance and legislation that have occurred since the 2015 edition.
