RE: NATIONAL UNIVERSITY ACOUSTICAL COMPLIANCE SURVEY
CARLSBAD PACIFIC CENTER, CARLSBAD CA
ISE REPORT #02-001
Dear Ms. Haussler:
At the request of Jack Henthorn & Associates, Investigative Science and
Engineering (ISE) were directed to analyze potential exterior and interior noise impacts
to the proposed National University campus located within the Carlsbad Pacific Center
Building Three at 705 Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad, California. The results of that
survey, as well as predicted future sound levels at the site and within the structure, are
presented in this letter report.
♦ INTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONS
Project Background
National University is an accredited non-profit institution of higher education for
adults throughout California. National University offers learning opportunities to a diverse
population through both classroom and on-line courses. The University currently enrolls
approximately 17,000 full-time equivalent students throughout California, making it the
second largest privately operated college of higher education in California.
The proposed National University campus location within the Carlsbad Pacific
Center Building Three unit will be operating after normal commercial business hours (i.e.
between 5:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.). The University anticipates an enrollment of
approximately 320 students as well as 27 administrative staff and faculty members at
any given time. The campus would utilize only the first two floors of the existing
structure.
Existing Site Characterization
The Planning Commission for the City of Carlsbad under Site Development Plan
98-23 and Coastal Development Permit 98-89 recently approved the development of
2.05 acres consisting of a three story, 41,000 square-foot building located at 705
Palomar Airport Road, Carlsbad, California (APN 210-100-1.6). The approved site

currently has two existing buildings, addressed as 701 and 703 Palomar Airport Road .
The approved third building, in its final stages of construction, will share site access from
Avenida Encinas with the two existing buildings noted above. This approved
development is zoned M (industrial) with an occupancy use of B (office).
Surrounding land uses include a Texaco gas station to the north, a surfboard
manufacturing facility to the south, Avenida Encinas to the west and Interstate 5 to the
east. The project vicinity map can be seen in Figure 1 below. Site configuration
photographs are provided in Figures 2a through -b.

Acoustical Definitions
Sound waves are linear mechanical waves. They can be propagated in solids,
liquids, and gases. The material transmitting such a wave oscillates in the direction of
propagation of the wave itself. Sound waves originate from some sort of vibrating
surface. Whether this surface is the vibrating string of a violin or a person's vocal cords,
a vibrating column of air from an organ or clarinet, or a vibrating panel from a
loudspeaker, drum, or aircraft, the sound waves generated are all similar. All of these
vibrating elements alternatively compress the surrounding air on a forward movement
and expand it on a backward movement.

There is a large range of frequencies within which linear waves can be
generated, sound waves being confined to the frequency range that can stimulate the
auditory organs to the sensation of hearing. For humans this range is from about 20
Hertz (Hz or cycles per second) to about 20,000 Hz. The air transmits these frequency
disturbances outward from the source of the wave. Sound waves, if unimpeded, will
spread out in all directions from a source. Upon entering the auditory organs, these
waves produce the sensation of sound. Waveforms that are approximately periodic or
consist of a small number of periodic components can give rise to a pleasant sensation
(assuming the intensity is not too high), for example, as in a musical composition. Noise,
on the other hand, can be represented as a superposition of periodic waves with a large
number of components.
Noise is generally defined as unwanted or annoying sound that is typically
associated with human activity and wh ich interferes with or disrupts normal activities.
Although exposure to high noise levels has been demonstrated to cause hearing loss,
the principal human response to environmental noise is annoyance. The response of
individuals to sim ilar noise events is diverse and influenced by the type of noise, the
perceived importance of the noise and its appropriateness in the setting, the time of day,
and the sensitivity of the individual hearing the sound .
Airborne sound is a rapid fluctuation of air pressure above and below
atmospheric levels. The loudest sounds the human ear can hear conformably are
approximately one trillion times the acoustic energy that the ear can barely detect.
Because of this vast range, any attempt to represent the acoustic intensity of a particular
sound on a linear scale becomes unwieldy. As a result, a logarithmic ratio originally
conceived for radio work known as the decibel (dB) is commonly employed. A sound
level of zero "0" dB is scaled such that it is defined as the threshold of human hearing
and would be barely audible to a human of normal hearing under extremely quiet

listening conditions. Such conditions can only be generated in anechoic or "dead rooms".
Typically, the quietest environmental conditions (extreme rural areas with extensive
shieldi_ng) yield sound levels of approximately 20 decibels. Normal speech has a sound
level of approximately 60 dB. Sound levels above 120 dB roughly correspond to the
threshold of pain.
The minimum change in sound level that the human ear can detect is
approximately 3 dB. A change in sound level of 10 dB is usually perceived by the
average person as a doubling (or halving) of the sounds loudness. A change in sound
level of 10 dB actually represents an approximately 90 percent change in the sound
intensity, but only about a 50 percent change in the perceived loudness. This is due to
the nonlinear response of the human ear to sound.
As mentioned above, most of the sounds we hear in the environment do not
consist of a single frequency, but rather a broad band of frequencies differing in sound
level. The intensities of each frequency add to generate the sound we hear. The method
commonly used to quantify environmental sounds consists of determining all of the
frequencies of a sound according to a weighting system that reflects the nonlinear
response characteristics of the human ear. This is called "A" weighting, and the decibel
level measured is called the A-weighted sound level (or dBA). In practice, the level of a
noise source is conveniently measured using a sound level meter that includes a filter
corresponding to the dBA curve.
Although the A-weighted sound level may adequately indicate the level of
environmental noise at any instant in time, community noise levels vary continuously.
Most environmental noise includes a conglomeration of sounds from distant sources that
create a relatively steady background noise in which no particular source is identifiable.
For this type of noise, a single descriptor called the Leq (or equivalent sound level) is
used . Leq is the energy-mean A-weighted sound level during a measured time interval. It
is the 'equivalent' constant sound level that would have to be produced by a given
source to equal the average of the fluctuating level measured. For most acoustical
studies, the monitoring interval is generally taken as one-hour and is abbreviated Leq-h.
To describe the time-varying character of environmental noise, the statistical
noise descriptors L 10, L50, and L90 are commonly used. They are the noise levels
equaled or exceeded during 10 percent, 50 percent, and 90 percent of a stated time.
Sound levels associated with the L 10 typically describe transient or short-term events,
while levels associated with the L90 describe the steady state (or most prevalent) noise
conditions. In addition, it is often desirable to know the acoustic range of the noise
source being measured . This is accomplished through the maximum and minimum
measured sound level (Lmax and Lmin) indicators. The Lmin value obtained for a
particular monitoring location is often called the acoustic floor for that location.
Finally, a sound measure employed by the State of California (and adopted by
the City of Carlsbad) is known as the Community Noise Equivalence Level (or CNEL) is
defined as the "A" weighted average sound level for a 24-hour day. It is calculated by

adding a 5-decibel penalty to sound levels in the evening (7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.), and
a 10-decibel penalty to sound levels in the night (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) to compensate
for the increased sensitivity to noise during the quieter evening and nighttime hours.
♦ APPLICABLE SIGNIFICANCE CRITERIA
Exterior Noise Standards
Noise impact significance for the proposed National University campus would fall
under guidelines established by the California Department of Health Services, Office of
Noise Control; Land Use Compatibility Guidelines dated 1987. This standard, which is
based upon an earlier 1974 EPA document entitled, "Information on Levels of
Environmental Noise Requisite to Protect Public Health and Welfare with an Adequate
Margin of Safety", sets a maximum exterior noise threshold of 70 dBA CNEL for outdoor
educational/recreational uses. The proposed National University campus located within
the Carlsbad Pacific Center Building Three would not contain any uses of this type.
State of California CCR Title 24
The California Code of Regulations (CCR), Title 24, Noise Insulation Standards,
states that single-and multi-family dwellings, hotels, and motels located where the
CNEL exceeds 60 dBA, must obtain an acoustical analysis showing that the proposed
design will limit interior noise to less than 45 dBA CNEL. A standard of 50 dBA CNEL is
typically applied to schools and educational uses (although more stringent standards
have been established by the City/SANDAG due to the influence of McClellan-Palomar
Airport). Worst case noise levels, either existing or future, must be used for this
determination. Future noise levels must be predicted at least ten years from the time of
building permit application. The City of Carlsbad has adopted the CCR Title · 24
standards. •
McClellan-Palomar Airport CLUP Abatement Standards
According to the Comprehensive Land Use Plan for McClellan-Palomar Airport
adopted April 1994 (Source: SANDAG 4/94), all new schools and libraries located within
the 60-65 dBA CNEL contours of the airport are subject to an acoustical study to assure
that interior noise levels will not exceed 45 dBA CNEL.
♦ ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
Existing Conditions Field Survey
Two Larson Davis Model 700 ANSI Type 2 integrating sound level meters were
used as the data collection devices. The meters were placed at six locations around the
structure corresponding primarily to the buildings north, south and eastern fac;ades. The
monitoring locations are denoted in this report as ML's 1 through -6. The monitoring
locations are shown below in Figures 3a through -f.

The meters were mounted on a tripod roughly five feet above the ground in order
to simulate the average height of the human ear above ground. The measurements were
performed on January 7, 2002. All equipment was calibrated before testing at ISE's
acoustics and vibration laboratory to verify conformance with ANSI S1-4 1983 Type 2
and IEC 651 Type 2 standards.
Future Exterior Traffic Noise Modeling
The Caltrans Sound 32 Traffic Noise Prediction Model with California
(CALVENO) noise emission factors (based on FHWA RD-77-108 and FHWA/CA/TL-
87/03 standards) was used to calculate future onsite vehicular traffic noise levels. Model
input included a digitized representation of the alignment of Interstate 5, as well as any
local site topography, future ADT volume, vehicle mix, and receptor elevations. The
roadway and site topography elevations were obtained from the project site plan
(Source: National University, Hinton Group, 12110/01) and from USGS Digital Elevation
Model (DEM) data. Model output consisted of peak hour energy-mean A-weighted sound
levels (or Leq-h) for each receptor examined (consisting of the first and second floor
areas of the existing structure). The model input and output decks are provided as
attachments to this report.

For this study, peak hour traffic values along Interstate 5 were calculated for a
10% traffic flow pattern and a 96/2/2 (automobiles/medium/heavy vehicles) percent mix
in accordance with Caltrans practices and the observed distribution for this roadway
during the site visit. For peak hour traffic volumes between approximately 8 and 12
percent (and an LOS between A and C), the energy-mean A-weighted sound level is
statistically equivalent to the 24-hour Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL).
Outside this range, a maximum variance of up to two dBA occurs between peak hour
Leq-h and CNEL.
Interior Noise Assessment Methodology
The analysis methodology used to examine structural sound transmission and
calculate resultant interior noise levels is identified in the American Society of Testing
and Materials (ASTM) guidelines Volume 04 .06 entitled, "Thermal Insulation;
Environmental Acoustics" Test Designation: E 413-87. Acoustical modeling of the project
was performed in accordance with the above guidelines and included corrections for the
following parameters:
o Exterior noise level adjustment in front of each building element.
o Exterior noise spectrum placement in front of each building element.
o Correction for building facade reflection (per ASTM E 966-84 ).
o Incident angle source correction (per ASTM E 966-84).
o Room absorption correction.
o Building element correction and adjustment (per ASTM E 413-87).
o Geometric (sizing) and workmanship (construction error) corrections.
The exterior noise level at the proposed structure was calculated in terms of
A-weighted decibels (dBA) and converted to six octave band sound pressure levels at:
125, 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hertz. The interior noise level is a function of the
sound transmission loss qualities of the construction material, the surface area of each
structural element (e.g., wall , window, door, etc.), and the volume of the receiving room
(i.e., the room's sound absorption in Sabins). Mathematically, this can be expressed as
shown in Equation 1 below.
where, Lint, is the interior A-weighted sound level at the ith octave band,
Lex,, is the exterior A-weighted sound level at the ith octave band,
TL; is the sound transmission loss at the ith octave band,
S is the size of the room fa9ade in square feet,
A; is the total room absorption in Sabins at the ith octave band, and,

F',,0,,, Ac0,,, Q corr are correction factors for the building fac;:ade reflection,
incident angle, and construction quality.
ISE assumed that the exterior noise levels were calculated for free-field
conditions with no interaction between existing structures. A 3-dBA building facade
reflection correction was applied to the as-built structure to simulate local reflection
effects. The necessary calculations were performed using the ISE STC-Ca/c 2.0 interior
noise computation program. The output of which is provided as attachments to this
report.
Construction practices may degrade the calculated acoustical performance of
walls and window assembles. The interior noise levels have been predicted in
accordance with accepted acoustical methods and assume good construction
techniques. A one-dBA quality correction factor was incorporated into the model · in
accordance with Equation 1.
♦ FINDINGS
Ambient Sound Measurement Results
Testing conditions during the monitoring period were mostly sunny with an average
barometric pressure reading of 29.94 in-Hg, an average westerly wind speed of 2 to 5 miles
per hour (MPH), and an approximate mean temperature of 73 degrees Fahrenheit. The
results of the sound level monitoring are shown below in Table 1. The values for the energy
equivalent sound level (Leq), the maximum and minimum measured sound levels (Lmax and
Lmin), and the statistical indicators L 10, L50, and L90, are given for the monitoring location.
Measurements collected at the monitoring station reflect the typical sound levels
associated with the community setting observed and the topography of the surrounding
terrain. The hourly average sound levels recorded over the monitoring period were as high as
64.1 dBA Leq-h and was due primarily to traffic noise along Interstate 5, periodic activity
along the San Diego Northern Railway (SDNR) alignment approximately one-block away
(i.e., Coaster activity) and from McClellan-Palomar Airport. The background noise level, as
indicated by the L90 metric was found to range from 56 to 61 dBA indicating the frequency of
traffic activity as the dominant area noise source. The acoustical floor, as indicated by the
Lmin metric was observed to be between 55 and 60 dBA.
The project site lies within the 60 dBA CNEL influence area of McClellan-
Palomar Airport and associated industrial uses. Traffic noise along Interstate 5
constitutes the dominant area noise source for the site. Aircraft noise contribution would
be classified as de minimis compared to other surrounding sources.

Future Traffic Noise Impacts
The primary source of future noise at the project site would be from traffic along
Interstate 5 (1-5). Avenida Encinas has negligible traffic levels from an acoustical
standpoint (compared to 1-5) and thus will be omitted from further discussion. Future
year 2020 volumes along 1-5 are projected to be as high as 256,000 ADT traveling at a
speed of 65 MPH during free flow conditions (Source: SANDAG Series 9 Year 2020
Traffic Prediction Model, 10/00).

The results of the acoustical analysis are shown below in Table 2. Based on the
model results, the worst-case exterior fac;ade noise levels would be as high as 71 dBA at
second floor areas. This level will be utilized as the worst-case future exterior exposure
level per CEQA.

Interior Noise Levels
Based upon the structural noise modeling, the estimated interior noise levels
would approach 45 dBA CNEL with the existing 1/4" float glass windows as shown in
Table 3 below. This would comply with the CCR Title 24 requirements and the provision
adopted by the City of Carlsbad pertaining to the McClellan-Palomar Airport. Influence
Zone. Mechanical ventilation would be required for this condition and is currently
incorporated as part of the as-built structure. No additional mitigation would be required.
