🚨 New polling shows support for noise enforcement!

Independent polling from @OpiniumResearch , supported by @noisecamera, shows that:

🔊 69% back stricter enforcement for noisy vehicles.
🔊 62% support noise cameras once explained.
🔊 50% say awareness is too low.

Some light retrospective reading from 1972...

Great talk from ⁦@JonTofts⁩ last week at ⁦@ioauk on meeting the ⁦@EnvAgency⁩ noise requirements.

Shielding silence: The case for measured data in acoustic glazing

As noise pollution in urban areas becomes increasingly critical to public health, Phil Brown outlines the case for using measured data as standard for acoustic glazing #architecture

@NickTreby Used in the years 140 to 717 AD, if we’re hearing you correctly

Congratulations to this year’s Intertraffic Awards winners! We had the privilege of speaking to Andrew Cowsill (SEE), Stephen Gosling and Reuben Peckham (Intelligent Instruments), and Olga Gonzalez (Valerann) about their remarkable achievements.

@philippaforrest @TPCPublicist @OctopusEnergy @Gill_Nowell @KateFantom Guess you prob know already, but just in case, charging starts on Intelligent for a short while, then pauses after the app works out the charge time. Assuming all properly linked in Octopus app, no others schedules should be set. Hope this helps.

@robhawkes @NationalGridESO @ELEXONUK Can you see what happened at the time UK clocks changed from BST to GMT - does that help confirm that both are UTC?

[24Acoustics @24Acoustics]

@robhawkes Very nice graphs - which graphing package do you use? Tempted to think it's Highcharts?

[24Acoustics @24Acoustics]

@NickTreby The data you see was measured using a hydrophone in a water filled borehole.

[24Acoustics @24Acoustics]

Looking through groundborne noise measurement data and spotting unexpected patterns!

[24Acoustics @24Acoustics]

@JoelKlebanoff Yes pls Joel

@monstroso If it doesn’t work you have good cause for the return. There should be no harm to anyone - do use a 3A fuse though. Good luck!

[24Acoustics @24Acoustics]

@NickTreby @cutnoise @PrasadKasibhat1 @moog77 Indeed. Decibels and percentages are a minefield for the unwary and inherently awkward for public understanding. Better to talk in terms of doubling, halving and being careful to ref sound pressure or loudness. Agree that a change in steady pressure of 3 dB is insignificant.

@MCMW_Acoustics How sound systems respond in different spaces for varying inputs (speech, music), not forgetting a Jo Hammond style explanation of causes of feedback

@sparky_10 This is excellent - thank you for your efforts!
