Abstract
The Schultz Curve, which was embodied in ANSI Standard S12.9 Part 4, has been a central informative tool for urban planning and noise impact analyses. Numerous field studies have been conducted by the Volpe Transportation Center and others to develop the foundation for the same type of tool for national parks. I will review what these studies have revealed, and how they compare with the urban noise standard. Park settings vary more widely than urban environments, so one challenge for devising a standard is addressing the potential variety of receptors and the contexts in which effects could be analyzed. The complexity of this issue increases dramatically when considering the nonhuman receptors of noise in national parks, and the effects of noise on human-wildlife interactions.
