Introduction As part of the aircraft noise analysis conducted for the Sea-Tac Airport Part 150 Study Update, temporary noise measurements were performed at 13 sites near the Airport. Noise meters were located at different residences and churches to capture noise from aircraft operations. Measurement staff coordinated with property owners and caretakers to gain access to the backyards and roofs of the selected sites. Each site was selected relative to flight patterns, proximity to existing permanent airport noise monitors, and in response to community suggestions on places to measure aircraft noise. The report is presented as follows:

• Noise Measurement Methodology: Provides the make, model, specifications and capabilities of the equipment used during the measurement period, describes the various locations and time periods when measurements were conducted, and describes how noise events were matched to specific aircraft operations.

• Noise Measurement Site Map: Map of the location of the temporary noise

measurement sites and the existing permanent airport noise monitors. • Air Traffic Maps: Maps of air traffic flight tracks that flew over each site

during the measurement periods.

• Noise Measurement Results: Describes the ambient noise environment, community (non-aircraft), and aircraft noise levels at each site.

Noise Measurement Methodology Equipment Type State of the art equipment used in this program included the Bruel & Kajer model 2238 and the Larson Davis 824 sound level meters. These are Class I Precision Sound Level Meters (as defined by American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)). The equipment was calibrated in compliance with manufacturer's procedures. Microphones and recording equipment are the highest quality and are capable of recording and calculating the various noise metrics. Each meter logged noise levels every second in terms of the one-second equivalent noise level, Leq. Noise Measurement Sites Sites for the temporary noise measurements included single-family residences and public churches and were chosen to supplement the existing network of permanent airport noise monitors. The microphones were placed in backyards, decks, or roofs with clear line of sight to aircraft flight patterns. Table 1a – Temporary Noise Measurement Sites lists the residences and churches where the temporary noise measurement microphones were located. Table 1b – Airport Permanent Noise Monitors lists the locations of the airport’s permanent monitors. Exhibit 1 – Noise Measurement Site Map illustrates the locations of the temporary noise measurement sites and the nearby permanent airport noise monitors as reference. Exhibits 2 thru 14 illustrate each noise measurement site on detailed maps and inset maps as reference. Table 1a – Temporary Noise Measurement Sites

Duration of Monitoring The temporary noise monitoring was conducted for a few days at each site. The weather during the monitoring period was clear with minor precipitation. The microphone windscreen at Site M was knocked off (probably by a bird) during the third day of measurements exposing the microphone to enough moisture to affect the measurements. Both North and South air traffic flow were observed during the measurement dates. Table 2 – Temporary Noise Monitoring Duration lists the dates and times of the monitoring periods at each site and the North and South air traffic flow percentages. During an average year, Sea-Tac Airport experiences North Flow approximately 35% of the time and South Flow about 65% of the time. Table 2 – Temporary Noise Monitoring Duration

Methods for Noise Event Correlation Measured noise events were matched with specific aircraft operations using the following two-step method: 1) Once data was downloaded, noise levels greater than 60 dB for duration longer that 3 seconds were identified as individual noise events. 2) Using the flight data from the airport noise and operations monitoring system, noise events that occurred while aircraft flew within 1.9 nm (4 nm at Site I) from the measurement site were correlated and classified as aircraft noise events. The airport’s permanent monitors use a similar correlation distance setting. Although this method provided positive identification of aircraft operations and highly accurate correlation with measured noise events, some community noise (e.g. cars, lawnmowers, animals) and aircraft noise occurred simultaneously and correlated as aircraft noise events. Unfortunately, there is currently no technology to separate aircraft noise levels from simultaneous non-aircraft noise levels.

Noise Measurement Results Noise level readings were used to characterize the noise environment at each location and to distinguish the various noise levels associated with individual aircraft operations. Ambient Noise Levels The data collected during the measurements can be summarized as a noise environment in terms of the noise level exceeded 10%, 50%, and 90% of the time and designated as L10, L50, L90, respectively. The L10 is the noise level exceeded 10% of the time and represents the typical peak noise level. The L50 is the median noise level. L90 is the noise level exceeded 90% of the time. The L90 is a good approximation of the background noise level, i.e., the noise level that would occur in the absence of identifiable noise events. Table 3 – Ambient Noise Levels by Temporary Site lists the L10, L50, and L90 levels at each measurement site. Table 3 – Ambient Noise Levels by Temporary Site

Aircraft Noise The noise measurement process was designed to capture the noise levels of a representative mix of aircraft operations near the measurement sites that includes various general aviation, commuter, and air carrier operations from Sea-Tac, Boeing Field, and transient aircraft operations from other airports. Non Sea-Tac aircraft were included in this study to capture the noise impact from all aircraft operations at each measurement site. At each site, the majority of aircraft noise events were Sea-Tac operations. Sound Rating Scales The description, analysis, and reporting of community sound levels is made difficult by the complexity of human response to sound and the myriad of sound-rating scales and metrics that have been developed for describing acoustic effects. Various rating scales have been devised to approximate the human subjective assessment of "loudness" or "noisiness" of a sound. Noise metrics can be categorized as single event metrics and cumulative metrics. Single event metrics describe the noise from individual events, such as an aircraft flyover. Cumulative metrics describe the noise in terms of the total noise exposure throughout the day, year or other time period. The noise metrics used in this study are summarized below: Single Event Metrics

• Maximum Noise Level. The highest noise level reached during a noise event is called the "Highest Noise Level," or Lmax. For example, as an aircraft approaches, the sound of the aircraft begins to rise above ambient noise levels. The closer the aircraft gets, the louder it is until the aircraft is at its closest point. As the aircraft passes, the noise level decreases until the sound level settles to ambient levels. This is plotted at the top of Exhibit 26 - Single and Cumulative Noise Metric Definitions. It is the Lmax metric to which people generally respond when an aircraft flyover occurs.

• Sound Exposure Level (SEL). The SEL is a common metric reported for

aircraft flyovers. It is computed from dBA sound levels during the noise event (referring to the shaded area at the top of Exhibit 26). This metric takes into account the maximum noise level of the event and the duration of the event. The SEL value is the sum of all the acoustic energy over the duration of noise event. For example, an aircraft flyover with a duration of 12 seconds within 10 dBA of the Lmax and an Lmax of 75 dBA would typically have an SEL of 85 dBA. The SEL value for a typical aircraft flyover is about 10 dBA higher than the maximum noise level (Lmax). Speech interference is often reported in terms of Lmax and sleep interference research is generally assessed relative to SEL data. Single event metrics are a convenient method for describing noise from individual aircraft events. This metric is useful in that airport noise models contain aircraft noise data based upon the SEL metric. In addition, cumulative noise metrics such as Leq and DNL are computed from SEL.

Cumulative Metrics Cumulative noise metrics have been developed to assess community response to noise. They are useful because these scales attempt to include the loudness and duration of the noise, the total number of noise events and the time of day these events occur into one single number rating scale. They are designed to account for the known health effects of noise on people.

• Equivalent Noise Level (Leq). Leq is the sound level corresponding to a steady-state A-weighted sound level containing the same total energy as a time-varying signal over a given sample period. Leq is the "energy" average taken from the sum of all the sound that occurs during a certain time period; however, it is based on the observation that the potential for a noise to impact people is dependent upon the total acoustical energy content. This is graphically illustrated in the middle graph of Exhibit 26. Leq can be measured for any time period, but is typically measured for 15 minutes, 1 hour or 24-hours. Leq levels for 24 continuous one-hour periods are used to develop the Day Night Noise Level (DNL) values for aircraft operations.

• Day Night Noise Level (DNL). The DNL index is a measure of the overall

noise experienced during an entire (24-hour) day; which includes time-weighted energy average noise level based on the A-weighted decibel. Time-weighted refers to the fact that noise that occurs during certain sensitive time periods and is penalized for occurring at these times. In the DNL scale, noise occurring between the hours of 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. is penalized by 10 dB. This penalty was selected to account for the higher sensitivity to noise in the nighttime hours and the expected further decrease in background noise levels that typically occur at night. DNL is specified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for community and airport noise assessment as well as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The FAA requires that the DNL metric be used to measure noise exposure in FAR Part 150 Studies. DNL is graphically illustrated in the bottom of Exhibit 26.

Aircraft Single Event Maximum Noise Level Results Individual aircraft noise events were measured using the Maximum Noise Level (Lmax). Charts 1 thru 11 Site Measured Maximum Noise Level graphically represent the highest or maximum Lmax and the average Lmax recorded for each type of aircraft operation at measurement sites that had 3 or more noise events per aircraft type recorded. Sites E and G captured less than 3 aircraft noise measurements per aircraft type. Some of the Highest Lmax Noise Levels are much higher than the Average Lmax due to community (non-aircraft) noise that occurred during the aircraft flyover. Appendix 1 - Measured Aircraft Noise Events provides these data in tabular form showing the number (count) of noise events and the energy average Sound Exposure Level (SEL) for each aircraft type. Unknown Aircraft type was give to aircraft types that were not identified by the airport noise system. Unknown Aircraft operations are usually made by General Aviation propeller aircraft. Chart 1

Cumulative Noise Level Results, DNL The noise measurement data were used to compute DNL for each temporary site. An aircraft only and community (non-aircraft) DNL were calculated for each site. The aircraft DNL was calculated from all one-second data that was recorded at each temporary site during an aircraft noise event. The community DNL was computed from all one-second data that were recorded at each temporary site when there were no aircraft noise events. These DNL values of a few days of measurements should not be compared to an annual average DNL value because different aircraft types and runway utilization are used to calculate the annual average DNL. The results are shown below.

* Site G had few noise event-to-aircraft correlations due to the small difference between aircraft noise and ambient noise levels. ** Site L measurements had computer problems that prevented the storage of noise levels not part of a distinct noise event and therefore the community noise levels were not recorded. Note that aircraft noise event data were recorded for 8 days of measurements appropriately allowing the aircraft DNL to be measured correctly. Note that at this site there were many overflights that did not trigger a noise event because the noise event did not cause noise levels to exceed the noise event threshold. The noise event threshold varied by time of day from 50 to 64 dBA. *** Site M community noise levels were measured high due to the predominance of rain that occurred sporadically, and sometimes heavily, throughout the measurement

period. Raindrops impacting the home roof and spa cover, and road traffic on wet pavement caused background noise levels to be higher than the ambient would have been had it not been raining. During dry periods, ambient levels as low as 30 dBA were recorded. However, the sound level meter had a lower measurement limit of 30 dBA. So during some periods, the measurement site was quieter than 30 dBA, a very low noise level. Note that at this site there were many overflights that did not trigger a noise event because the noise event did not cause noise levels to exceed the noise event threshold, which was set at 60 dBA.
