Abstract

Evaluation of noise in outdoor entertainment spaces is a topic of interest in our communities . Noise from outdoor entertainment spaces has turned into an unwanted activity in rural communities due to high levels sound pressure from music events and crowd noise. There are numerous complaints from neighbors or neighborhood associations pertaining noise pollution around areas near these spaces. For this case study, field noise measurements were conducted in a winery for a regular concert season. Evaluation of the noise predictions using SoundPlan 4.0 for the winery venue and for a Glamping (“luxurious camping”) venue are the main focus of this study. The paper aims to determine a correlation between field noise measurements, methodology from ISO 9613-2:1996 Standard “Attenuation of sound during propagation outdoors,” and noise prediction results using SoundPlan 4.0 computer modeling software.
