Abstract
Noise levels declared to be acceptable and tolerable by local California noise ordinance and by several studies and hearing reports are compared to both (a) actual levels of aircraft/airport noise, and (b) levels stated to be acceptable and tolerable by acoustical firms employed to prepare environmental impact reports. The author will comment unfavorably on style, clarity, and quality of EIRs prepared by acoustical firms for local governing bodies such as city councils. Results of the Aircraft/Airport Noise Study by an Environmental Protection Agency Task Force in the Spring of 1973 to assist EPA in the preparation of its report to Congress on that subject are discussed. The author was a member of the Task Force Study Group.
