Abstract
Working with communities to resolve noise problems demands not just accurate data about noise impacts but also effective means of exchanging information. The Interactive Sound Information System (ISIS), developed by the author, represents one means of presenting noise impacts data. Central to the ISIS concept is the idea that actual noise examples, shaped to reflect local situations, are the very best way to increase community understanding of noise management issues. Such a strategy works well in a public hearing or community workshop setting. Presentations can be structured to address local concerns and recorded sounds can be accurately calibrated. However, alternate modes of communicating information have been developed that are asynchronous and individual. The question is how to adapt presentations to such delivery systems and retain the reproducibility and accuracy of written reports or professionally moderated presentations. The paper describes current mechanisms for transmitting noise management data and explores the issues involved in adapting delivery to hand-held devices or other modes of individual access.
