Entertainment Noise Assessment

 3.7.3 Meteorological conditions during testing
 Wind speed was collected immediately prior to and following the set of        G51 Check Item 40 ☐

 intrusive measurements, recording a wind speed of less than 5 m/s using
 a Kestrel 2000 anemometer.


 3.7.4 Method of conducting intrusive noise measurements
 Intrusive noise measurements were taken at each of the locations              G51 Check Item 41 ☐

 described in Section 3.1 to 3.4. The source material was played through
 the sound systems and set at a sufficiently loud volume so that the signal
 was clearly audible and measurable at the RAPs. Where the signal was
 not audible at an identified RAP, the measurement was still undertaken
 as a precaution, along with RPLs and CEMLs relevant to the RAP.


 3.7.5 Exclusion of extraneous noise events
 Extraneous noise events experienced during intrusive noise                    G51 Check Item 42 ☐

 measurements included: road traffic movements, pedestrian noise and
 birdsong. These noise events were excluded through the use of post-
 processing of the data (removal of contaminated data and recalculation
 of the L10 noise descriptor) or using a back-erase function on the sound
 level meter during intrusive measurements. The back erase function
 allows acoustic consultants to erase the last 5-seconds of noise
 measurements where the consultant identifies extraneous noise.


 3.7.6 Mechanical plant noise
 Mechanical plant associated with the venue was identified to be located       G51 Check Item 44 ☐

 on a rooftop plant adjacent to the function room. Mechanical plant was
 observed to be a combination of refrigeration and air-conditioning
 equipment, servicing the kitchen and various rooms throughout the
 building.
 Mechanical plant was observed to be operating during the intrusive
 assessment site visits. However, due to the surrounding ambient
 acoustic environment and noise generated by amplified music sound
 sources during testing, noise from the plant deck was not considered to
 be audible.
 As discussed briefly in Section 3.6, during the background noise
 assessment the venue was not operating and any remaining mechanical
 plant was determined to be not audible at the background noise
 measurement locations.



 3.8 Patron noise
 To determine the level of noise being caused by patrons, a prediction         G51 Check Item 44 ☐

 model for patron noise was prepared using the methodology outlined in
