Characteristic noise emission values of sound sources - Facilities for recreational and sporting activities

Title (German)

Emissionskennwerte von Schallquellen - Sport- und Freizeitanlagen

Overview

Sports and recreational facilities can, when situated in an unfavourable position, lead to noise immissions in the neighbouring residential areas that have to be evaluated as harmful environmental influence in accordance with the Federal Immission Protection Act. Therefore, during planning or significant modification of such grounds, a predicture calculation should be performed in order to determine the noise immissions that are to be expected. Where the relevant standard values for the exposure are expected to be exceeded, noise control measures or alternative planning options can then be considered in good time. This guideline presents noise-emission values for the following facilities for recreational and sporting activities: soccer, field hockey, American Football, tennis, ice hockey, public ice skating, ice stock sport, ice stock sport in the summer time, skateboard facilities, open-air swimming pools, leisure and adventure pools, athletics events, public soccer grounds, motor sports facilities, beach volleyball, inline skater hockey, streetball, outdoor public address systems, funfairs, public festivals, markets, circuses, recreational and amusement parks, club houses and community centres, stationary waterskiing facilities, summer toboggan runs and dog training facilities. The approaches given here concerning emission are designed in a modular manner. In the case that several different noise sources act together in a facility for recreational and sporting activities, the total emission from this facility can be "composed" - by calculation - of the modules actual noise generated by the facility and further noise components. These noise emission values are presented such that they can be used as a data basis for the further calculation of immission levels applying the common methods of propagation calculation. This directive is directed at acoustic consultants, designers, operators and authorities who are related to the aforementioned facilities. This directive has been prepared at the Acoustics, Noise Control and Vibration Engineering Standards Committee (NALS) at DIN and VDI by Subcommittee NA 001-01-04-32 UA "Sport- und Freizeitanlagen - ETS 32" ("Facilities for recreational and sporting activities - ETS 32").
