Entertainment Noise Assessment


4 Assessment Methodology
4.1 Quality Standards
Noise measurements were conducted in accordance with Australian Standard AS1055:2018
Acoustics – Description and measurement of environmental noise and the Department of
Environment and Science Noise Management Manual Version 4.01 (NMM 2020).

4.2 Instrumentation
Table 2 below displays a list of noise survey instrumentation used for this noise assessment.

                                        Table 2. Noise survey instrumentation

4.2.1 Calibration of Instrumentation
The noise logger was calibrated with a Rion NC-73 calibrator at a sound pressure level of
94.0dBA at 1kHz before and after each set of measurements. Calibration drift was found to be
within ±0.5dB and therefore considered acceptable.

4.2.2 Meteorological Conditions
Wind speed was collected immediately prior to testing recording a wind speed of less than 5
m/s using a Kestrel 2000 anemometer.

Wind speed and direction were also acquired from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) Tewantin
(Station ID: 040908). A summary is provided in Appendix B – Weather Observations

4.3 Entertainment Scenarios
Bounce Noosa intends to utilise amplified entertainment through their in-house speakers
mounted within their undercover bar area. To set the noise limits for the entertainment-
producing areas, noise levels were assessed with one (1) venue operating configuration
(scenario) for the identified area. Details of the scenario are as follows:

            Scenario 1.       PA Speakers situated on the bar, facing the Northern boundary which
                              is directed at the entertainment deck, pool and Pod A accommodation
                              units.

Photographs of the sound source measurement locations during on-site testing are presented
below in Figure 3.
