Noise pollution can be kept down
Noise pollution doesn’t have to
grow along with the cities of the
Sunbelt now facing massive popu
lation increases, says a researcher
at Texas A&M University.
“Steps can be taken to hold
down noise levels that are bad for
the public health and welfare,”
said Dr. Carl Gerhold, a mecha
nical engineer. “But it takes more
than wringing your hands and
saying that noise is just a price we
pay for progress.”
Gerhold has worked with noise
problems in cities, including
Houston, and is studying ways to
reduce jet engine noise for the Na
tional Aeronautics and Space
Adminisration.
The problem of noise is highly
subjective, Gerhold said. What is
a sound to some people is a noise
to others.
“Noise is a sound that annoys
you,” he said, “But there are few
clear examples. For instance,
many people would say a loud en
gine sound is definitely noise. But
the people crowded into the Indy
500 race grounds would differ on
that. ”
Noise can be bad for one’s
health, the researcher said, be
cause the eardrum is like a mecha
nical system. If overstressed, it
can be damaged and hearing loss
can occur. Noise can also cause
psychological damage, he said.
In growing cities, increased
noise seems to slip up on citizens,
Gerhold said. No one notices it
growing and suddenly 10 years
down the road, the sound level has
increased tremendously.
Some cities and even some
countries have taken steps to hold
down noise pollution by setting
limits on the amount of sound pro
duced by automobiles, factories
and businesses. A traffic cop that
uses a sound level meter as well as
a radar unit might someday be a
necessary reality, he said.
“We need to measure sound
levels as we grow,” Gerhold said,
because fixes afterwards are very
expensive. Sound walls used along
large roadways in cities to hold
down traffic noises can cost as
much as $70 or more a linear foot,
he said.
Too often, noise control has
been seen as a luxury item,
Gerhold said. It should he given
more consideration — not just ip
ways to hide it, but also ways to
eliminate noise in the first place
through new product designs.
