Abstract

C-weighting has recently been incorporated into noise ordinances to address music sources that incorporate high levels of low frequency pulsing; previously C-weighting was reserved for industrial and transportation noise. It is common for complaintants to have valid concerns in regard to audible low frequency noise that does not qualify as a violation based on A-weighted measures and codes. This paper will survey a number of existing ordinances that utilize C-weighting and sampling speed to address these music sources and produce examples of urban propagation and transmission.
