   From Table 1, the following average ambient noise levels should be noted:

   o       LAeq,T:
                o     daytime:    60.2, 53.6, 56.0, 51.5, 53.0, 53.4, 56.0,                 Average = 54.8 dB(A);
                o     evening:    47.8, 53.1, 55.3, 47.7, 47.0, 48.7, 49.3, 50.1,           Average = 49.9 dB(A);
                o     night-time: 44.2, 50.9, 45.0, 49.0, 46.8, 47.7, 45.3,                 Average = 47.0 dB(A);

   o       LA1,T:
                o     daytime:    73.4, 64.1, 67.2, 62.1, 63.5, 64.7, 67.6,                 Average = 66.1 dB(A);
                o     evening:    58.9, 64.8, 66.4, 55.6, 54.0, 53.6, 56.2, 61.0,           Average = 58.8 dB(A);
                o     night-time: 52.2, 60.7, 53.9, 53.9, 52.0, 52.7, 53.0                  Average = 54.1 dB(A);

   o       LA10,T:
                o     daytime:    62.1, 56.3, 57.9, 53.4, 52.8, 53.7, 57.8,                 Average = 56.3 dB(A);
                o     evening:    48.8, 53.7, 57.0, 49.6, 48.5, 49.9, 50.7, 49.0,           Average = 50.9 dB(A);
                o     night-time: 45.7, 48.9, 46.3, 50.8, 48.4, 49.5, 46.8,                 Average = 48.1 dB(A);

   o       LA90,T:
                o     daytime:    44.8, 44.5, 45.2, 43.9, 45.2, 45.7, 40.5,                 Average = 44.3 dB(A);
                o     evening:    42.2, 44.2, 44.1, 44.2, 43.9, 46.8, 46.6, 38.1,           Average = 43.8 dB(A);
                o     night-time: 41.7, 44.1, 41.4, 46.9, 44.8, 45.7, 42.0,                 Average = 43.8 dB(A).

   Based on the above ambient noise levels the noise limits for time varying noise are:

   •       daytime (0700 to 1800 hours):            66 + 3 = 69 dB(A) LA1,T, 56 + 3 = 59 dB(A) LA10,T
   •       evening (1800 to 2200 hours):            59 + 3 = 62 dB(A) LA1,T, 51 + 3 = 54 dB(A) LA10,T
   •       night-time (2200 to 0700 hours):         45 dB(A) (inside bedrooms), which is equivalent to 55 dB(A)
                                                    outside the bedroom with bedroom windows open.
