Abstract

Conventional social survey and noise measurement techniques are not well suited to characterization of exposure and collection of prompt reactions to aircraft overflights in outdoor recreational settings. For example, place-oriented measurements cannot be assumed to represent personal exposure as in residential settings, and exit and mailback surveys introduce inevitable delays in responding. A miniaturized, computer-based instrumentation system for simultaneous real-time monitoring of noise exposure and recording of responses may provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods of assessing aircraft noise impacts in parks and wildernesses.
