Entertainment Noise Assessment

 The distance input was calculated using Queensland Government
 imagery, whereby the shortest distance between the closest outdoor
 area to each applicable RAP was calculated.

 The predicted sound pressure levels were converted to octave band
 spectra, utilising the ‘Raised’ voice spectra detailed in the AAAC
 Licensed Premises Guideline (V2).

 Patron noise levels were predicted at the CEMLs, RPLs and RAP
 measurement locations. The cumulative amplified entertainment and
 patron noise intrusive level at these locations was then calculated using
 decibel log addition. The results of the above equation were input into the
 Guideline 51 calculations (refer to Appendix B – Calculation Summaries)
 to provide an intrusive noise level due to amplified entertainment and
 patron noise.

 measurements. Calibration drift was found to be within ±0.3dB and
 therefore considered acceptable. Provided below in Table 6 are the field
 calibration dates, times and levels.
