Study Shows Motel Sleepers
Will Be Undisturbed By Jets v«>
Light sleepers can snooze on
undisturbed by jet airliners as a
result of a study completed by an
A&M architectural physicist.
Matthew A. Nowak, who doubles
as an assistant professor with the
Division of Architecture, was
awarded a grant to determine the
feasibility of constructing a motel
near the end of a major airport
runway.
Such a location likely will mean
the difference between a success
ful business operation and one
struggling on meager earnings in
a more distant location from the
airport.
RESULTS OF Nowak’s just com
pleted findings will be used by
professional architects appointed to
design the multi-storied motel in
order to cope with the sound prob
lem.
Using microphones and recording
devices Nowak found that the
noise created at the proposed loca
tion ranged from 75 to almost 100
decibles.
In laymen’s terminology, the
noise ranged from the sound of a
“busy” secretarial office to the
“roar” of a passing subway train.
A person can be permanently
deafened with sounds of 120 deci
bles and above, dependiAg upon the
duration.
NOWAK EXPLAINED that ex
treme noise can effect the durabili
ty of a building as well as the
nerves of the building’s occupants.
Bridge Committee
To Hold Tourney
The third annual A&M bridge
tournament will be held Saturday
and Sunday in Rooms 2-A, 2-B
and 2-C of the Memorial Student
: Center.
' 'the 1 totftWy, sponsored by the
MSC Bridge Committee, will be
iay'.night
The second session will run from
8 a.m. Sunday until noon.
1,
Fractional master points will be
awarded during the first session,
while full master points and trop
hies will be given during the second
day of the tournament.
Students have been requested to
register for the tournament in
pairs with Miss Gladys Black in
the Food Department Office by
Friday. a
Prior to the tourhanient, en
trants will be treated to a dinner.
Refreshments will be served during
the two sessions.
Glass, for example, will shatter if
the sound waves become strong
enough.
Placing a motel near the end of
the runway is a sample of some
of the studies turned over to A&M
research architects. Knowing more
about sound and its control will
likely lead to business offices closer
to airports to accomodate today’s
high-flying businessman.
A radio station manager asked
about the feasibility of placing
his facilities near a runway where
land was available. To offset the
outside disturbance and provide low
level noise within the studio, the
architect recommended the broad
casting studio be placed in a build
ing within a building. That was
done.
A SHOPPING center in Dallas
will be constructed soon only 1,000
feet from the end of a Love Field
airport runway. The buildings will
be designed to cope with the roar
of airplanes.
What can be done to cut noise?
Plenty, according to Nowak.
Buildings can be placed, for
example, where solid walls bear
the brunt of direct sound. If glass
or light material faces the noise,
the disturbance inside will be great-
Other suggestions include small
structural openings, increased over
hanging construction and other
architectural elements to muzzle
undesired clamor.
SOME} OF THE techniques are
borrowed from other professions.

Dentists, for example, found tit
steady blasts of music can be usd
with patients to block the disturb
ing sound of the drill.
Using this theoiy, Nowak in.
stalled a fan to kill undesird
noise drifting with the flow of ait
through an elementary school. At
a central point where the noist
funneled from front to back of tks
building, a “noise maker” was in-
stalled.
“It’s a lot easier to cope will
the fan’s steady sound than voices
of many students,” the architect
explained.
The ideal situation would be to
have a switch hanging from tie
sky that would control excess
noise,” Nowak said with a sly grin
’’Then to stop the disturbance,
just turn a switch.”
Such a technique would be callei
an “anti-neucleonic sound sucker,"
