Appendix G- Environmental Noise Assessment · MCU23/0078

•    Conversation noise was assumed from the nearest loading bay, car parking or driveway area to the
     receiver.

•    Conversation noise was based on a ‘male’ voice with ‘raised’ vocal effort as reported in published data
     contained in Harris, C.M., Handbook of Acoustical Measurements and Noise Control – 3rd ed. Ch 16.3,
     Mc Graw-Hill Inc, 1991. Noise duration was assumed to be continuous over the period

•    Outdoor dining was predicted from the outdoor dining area. The noise duration was assumed to be
     continuous during the assessment time period. The sound level includes allowance for low-level
     background amplified music.

•    Noise attenuation provided by intervening building structures where applicable, with the following
     attenuation values applied:

     -    15dB where a structure blocks direct line of sight between the receiver and noise source.

•    Noise attenuation of 7dB through an open window at a receiver was applied for internal predictions for
     offsite receivers.

•    It is noted that between 15 and 20dB could be expected to be achieved through a closed window or
     door with standard construction, however upgraded construction to achieve a minimum noise
     attenuation of 25dB has been recommended for onsite receivers.

•    As events in the outdoor entertainment area will be infrequent, these have been assessed separately
     from noise sources associated with the daily operation. The assessment is shown in section 6.5

•    Noise source locations are shown in Figure 6.
