Sul^ect: Town House Interior Noise Evaluation In Carlsbad CA
The film of Ldn Consulbng, Inc. is pleased to submit the following intenor noise impact
analysis for the proposed Town House residenbal development in the Oty of Carlsbad. The
purpose of the survey is to determine the esbmated extenor and intenor noise levels within
the outdoor areas of the project site and within the residenbal structures and recommend
mibgabon measures for compliance with the California Code of Regulabons Titie 24 and the
City of Carlsbad guidelines and requirements for noise.
PROJECT LOCATION/DESCRIPTTON
The proposed site is located on approximately 0.22 acres and consists of three (3) mulb-family
residenbal condominium units and five (5) office units in a three-story building. The proposed
project IS located at 2677 State Street, west of Interstate 5 in the City of Carlsbad, CA.
The pnmary noise source that affects the site is the San Diego Northern Railway (SDNR) located
approximately 205 feet west of the site and traffic along State Street as can be seen in Figure
1. The project site configurabon is provided in Rgure 2 below
ACOUSTICAL FUNDAMENTALS
Noise IS defined as unwanted or annoying sound which interferes with or disrupts normal
actMbes. Exposure to high noise levels has been demonstrated to cause heanng loss. The
individual human response to environmental noise is based on the sensitivity of that individual,
the type of noise that occurs and when the noise occurs

Sound IS measured on a loganthmic scale consisting of sound pressure levels known as a
deabel (dB). The sounds heard by humans typically do not consist of a single frequency but of
a broadband of frequencies having different sound pressure levels. The method for evaluating
all the frequencies of the sound is to apply an A-weighting to reflect how the human ear
responds to the different sound levels at different frequenaes The A-weighted sound level
adequately descnbes the instantaneous noise whereas the equivalent sound level depicted as
Leq represents a steady sound level containing the same total acoustical energy as the actual
fluctuating sound level over a given time interval.
The Community Noise Equivalent Level (CNEL) is the 24 hour A-weighted average for sound,
with corrections for evening and nighttime hours. The corrections require an addition of 5
decibels to sound levels in the evening hours between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. and an addition of
10 deabels to sound levels at nighttime hours between 10 p.m. and 7 am. These additions
are made to account for the inaeased sensitivity during the evening and nighttime hours
when sound appears louder. CNEL values do not represent the actual sound level heard at any
particular time, but rather represents the total sound exposure
Additionally, Sound Transmission Class (or STC) is an integer rating of how well airborne
sound IS attenuated by a building partition. STC is widely used to rate intenor partitions,
ceilings/floors, doors, windows and extenor wall configurations (see ASTM International
Qassification E413 and E90). The STC number is derived from tested sound attenuation values
found at the 1/3 octave band frequencies. These transmission-loss (TL) values are then
plotted and compared to a standard reference contour. Acoustical engineers fit these values to
the appropnate TL Curve to detennine a single STC value found at 500 Hertz. STC is roughly
the decibel reduction in noise a partition can provide, abbreviated 'dB'.
If an 85 dB sound on one side of a wall is reduced to 50 dB on the other side, that partition is
said to have an STC of 35. This number does not apply across the range of frequenaes
because the STC value is derived from a curve-fit from the tested 1/3 octave band
frequenaes. Any partition will have less TL at lower frequencies For example, a wall with an
STC of 35 may provide over 40 dB of attenuation at 3000 Hz but only 15 dB of attenuation at
125 Hz.

INTERIOR NOISE STANDARDS
California's Title 24 Noise Standards
The California Commission on Housing and Community Development adopted noise insulaton
standards for multi-family residential buildings (Title 24, Part 2, California Code of Regulations
or CCR). CCR Title 24 establishes standards, based on the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) requirements, for intenor room noise (attnbutable to outside noise
sources).
The regulabons also specify that acoustical studies must be prepared whenever a multi-family
residenbal or motel/hotel building or structure is proposed to be located near an existing or
adopted freeway route, expressway, parkway, major street, thoroughfare, rail line, rapid
transit line, or industrial noise source, and where such noise sources create an extenor CNEL
(or Ldn) of 60 dBA or greater. Such acoustical analysis must demonstrate that the residence
has been designed to limit intruding noise to an intenor CNEL (or Ldn) of at least 45 dBA.
City of Carlsbad Noise Standards
The City of Carlsbad's General Plan Noise Element requires that all extenor sensitive areas
shall limit noise exposure. For noise sensibve residenbal land uses, the Qty has adopted a
policy which has established a "normally acceptable" exterior noise level goal of 60 dBA CNEL
for the outdoor areas and an interior noise level of less than 45 dBA CNEL. However, the City
has also established a "condibonally acceptable" policy goal of up to 65 dBA CNEL for
residential land uses. For residential properbes idenbfied as requiring a noise study, a study
shall be prepared by an acousbcal professional. This study shall document the projected
maximum exterior noise level and mibgate the projected exterior noise level to a maximum
allowable noise level
Intenor noise levels should be mitigated to a maximum of 45 dBA CNEL in all habitual rooms
when the extenor of the residence are exposed to levels of 60 dBA CNEL or more If windows
and doors are required to be closed to meet the interior noise standard, then mechanical
venblabon shall be provided per City requirements

ANALYSIS PROCEDURES
Exterior Noise Leveis
Rail Activities
Noise measurements were taken at the site using a Larson-Davis Model LxT Type 1 precision
sound level meter. The noise level meter was programmed in "slow" mode and set to record
noise levels in "A" weighted form. The sound level meter and microphone were mounted on a
tnpod, five feet above the ground and equipped with a windscreen dunng all measurements.
The sound level meter was calibrated before and after the monitonng using a Larson-Davis
calibrator. Model CAL 200. The site was monitored in 1-minute intervals or increments so the
tram activities could be easily identfied The noise measurement was conducted along the
western portion of the site facing the rail alignment dunng a tram pass-by event to determine
the noise levels from the tram activity The result of the noise level measurement is presented
m Table 1.
Table 1: Measured Train Noise Levels
Noise Levels (dBA)
Description
Lmax Lmin LID L50
East of Rail
nght-of-way January 27, 2017
Due to the proximity of the noise measurement to the railroad the overall sound level was
found to be 72 9 dBA CNEL for a single event lasbng less than 2-mmutes. Based on existing
tram schedules, the peak hourly traffic volume is expected to be four (4) trams per hour. The
stabstical indicators LIO, L50, and L90, are also given Based on the L90 data, 90% of the
bme the noise level is below 47 dBA due to very low traffic volumes adjacent to and around
the site. The San Diego Northern Railway (SDNR) segment adjacent to the project site is
utilized for both commuter trams (Coaster and Surflmer) and a few freight trams. As can be
seen from the Lmax data, the tram horn at a nearby grade crossing was 87.8 dBA. The noise
levels at the site are relatively low but the tram noise elevates the overall noise levels above
60 dBA CNEL.

Hourly noise levels at the proposed building fagade would be further reduced due to distance,
duty-cycle, and exisbng and proposed site features. The noise reduction due to distance and a
duty-cycle of 8 minutes in an hour is and 8.8 dBA CNEL The worst-case daily tram activity is
as follows: 50 commuter tram and freight trams (Source: NTCD, AMTRAK and SANDAG, 2014).
By the year 2030, rail operations are assumed to increase to a total of 98 trams per day due
to overall growth, the addition of Metrolmk Commuter Service and planned infrastructure
upgrades. This would result m a noise level increase of 2.9 dBA CNEL, raising the noise levels
to approximately 65 dBA CNEL. Based upon these findings and the instantaneous peaks from
the tram operations, intenor noise levels need to be reduced to meet the CCR Title 24 and Qty
of Carlsbad requirements.
Traffic on State Street
The pnmary source of traffic noise impacts to the project site will be from adjacent State
Street. The projected roadway noise levels fixim vehicular traffic were calculated using the
methods m the Highway Noise Model published by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA
Highway Traffic Noise Prediction Model, FHWA-RD-77-108, December, 1978). The FHWA
Model uses the traffic volume, vehicle mix, speed, and roadway geometry to compute the
equivalent noise level A spreadsheet calculation was used which computes equivalent noise
levels for each of the time penods used m the calculation of CNEL. Weighting these equivalent
noise levels and summing them gives the CNEL for the traffic projections.
Future year 2035 traffic along State Street is predicted to be at most 6,700 average daily trips
(ADT) The speed limit along State Street is 30 MPH Based on the extenor noise model, the
worst-case cumulative noise level was found to be 64.5 dBA CNEL at the site. Based upon these
findings, if balconies are required for pnvate outdoor usable space, the balconies would
require bamers to reduce extenor noise to below the City of Carlsbad exterior noise level
standards.

Interior Noise Levels
TTie methodology used to determine the resultant interior noise levels is based upon the
extenor noise level minus the sound transmission loss as idenbfied in the Amencan Soaety of
Testing and Matenals (ASTM) guidelines: E413 &E90. The exterior noise levels at the proposed
structures calculated in terms of dBA are converted to the six octave band sound pressure
levels between: 125 Hertz - 4000 Hertz. Acoustical modeling of the proposed project dwelling
units was performed in accordance with the above guidelines and included combining the
transmission loss for each of the building components that will reduce the interior noise levels.
Building components typically include the windows, extenor doors, and extenor walls. The
total noise reduction is dependent upon the transmission loss of each building component,
their subsequent surface area, quality of the building/construction matenals, a building fagade
and angle correction
The intenor noise level is also dependent on the acoustical energy absorbed within the room
based upon the Noise Reduction Coefflaents (NRC) NRC is a scalar representation of the
amount of sound energy absorbed upon stnking a particular surface and the anthmetic value
average of sound absorption coefRaents indicating a matenal's ability to absorb sound The
absorption coefficients for individual surface areas such as carpet, drywall and furnishings are
used to calculate the intenor room effects. The calculated building noise reduction includes
both the room absorption charactenstics and the transmission loss from the extenor wall
assembly.
The interior noise reduction calculations were performed using Ldn's interior noise model The
model converts the extenor sound level to octave band frequencies and accounts for the
transmission loss, correction factors and room absorption. The floor plans used for this analysis
were provided by AVRP Skyport Studios received September 2017 The following construction
details were utilized for each of the building assemblies to determine the noise reduction
charactenstics:
Exterior walls and roof assemblies must have a Sound Transmission Qass (STC) rating of 46 or
better. Extenor walls with this rating consist of 2"k4" studs or larger, spaced 16" o.c. with R-13
insulation minimum and an extenor surface of 7/8" cement plaster (stucco). Intenor wall and
ceiling surfaces shall be at least 1/2" thick gypsum or plaster. Roof assemblies should have a
minimum of W sheathing, R-30 insulation and sealed to prevent noise leaks. Glass assemblies
should be dual-glazed and acoustical sealant applied around the exterior edges. The window
assemblies are generally the weakest noise reducing component but are the most convenient

and cost effective elements to change if additional attenuation is needed The STC ratings for
the glass assemblies was calculated in the intenor noise model and provided in the findings
below.
Bathrooms, kitchens, closets and comdors are not required to meet the 45 dBA CNEL standard
and therefore were not modeled. The sensitive rooms were considered to have ble or hardwood
floonng to be conservative. These rooms were modeled to determine the intenor noise
reductons. If the modeled intenor noise levels were found to be higher than 45 dBA CNEL in the
habitual areas with the minimum assembly requirements descnbed above addibonal modeling
was performed to determine the minimum STC rating for the glass assemblies to further reduce
interior noise levels below the acceptable intenor threshold of 45 dBA CNEL.

The hourly building fagade noise level of 65 dBA CNEL was utilized for all proposed sensitive
rooms to determine the minimum STC ratings of the assemblies It should be noted though,
maximum sound levels due to rail operations could reach instantaneous peaks above 85 dBA
due to signaling and warning devices. Although these peak noise levels may only occur for a
few seconds, operation of such devices dunng nighttime hours could result in a nuisance to
sensitive receptors
