Introduction

As part of its commitment under the Dublin Agglomeration Action Plan relating to the Assessment and

Management of Environmental Noise, Dublin City Council commenced the installation of a permanent

ambient sound monitoring network in 2009. The purpose of this network is to measure outdoor

ambient sound levels in the City, at representative sites of typical sound levels to which the citizen is

being exposed. The data is also being compared with the computer modelled noise maps produced

under the Action Plan in order to ascertain whether they provide a true representation of sound levels

throughout the City. Dublin City Council is the first local authority in Ireland to install such a network.

It should be noted that the sound level meters are located so that there is no single dominant source

having a significant influence on the outdoor ambient sound levels being measured, such as major

roads, road junctions, industrial sources etc.

The network currently consists of ten locations:

Ashtown, off Navan Rd. D7, Private

Ballyfermot Road, D10, Civic Centre

Measurement Parameters

The measurements being taken are over continuous, 5 min periods, which are presented as average

hourly sound levels in decibels (dB(A)). These hourly values can be converted to average day,

evening, and night time values. As noise maps are presented using a single value called LDEN(Day,

evening, night) the above time periods can be converted to this value for comparison with the noise

maps.

Sound Sources

The work on computer modelled noise maps has shown that traffic is the dominant sound source in

Dublin. This sound comes from two aspects of traffic – the road surface, wheel\tyre interface where

sound levels increase with speed and secondly, engine\ gear change and body rattle sound, normally

observed at lower speeds.

The measurements from the monitoring sites confirm traffic is the dominant sound source at most

sites. Hourly sound values track traffic volumes as they vary throughout the day. It is quiet striking the

similarities between Figure 1 showing the average variations in traffic throughout the day and the

individual site charts showing the variations of sound - rising on average at approximately 7 in the

morning and dropping off at approximately 6-7pm in the evening. It is particularly most noticeable for

the period between midnight and 6a.m. in the morning, on Saturdays and Sundays. However the Bull

Island site shows no dominant influence from traffic, where as Ringsend shows some influence from

traffic but not as strong as at other sites.

Weather

Another influence on the sound measurements can be meteorological conditions, in the Irish context,

mainly rain and wind. Rain increases the sound from vehicles travelling on wet road surfaces. On

windy occasions sound levels also become elevated. The incoming and outgoing tides and breaking

waves also influence the sound measurements at Bull Island.

Figure 3 charts average monthly sound levels against average monthly wind speeds. The influence of

the wind depends on how strong the wind is blowing and the pre-existing sound level. As can be seen

from figure 3 during the high winds in January and November (between 12 and 15 Knots) sound

levels also increased. However during less windy periods sites with less dominant sound sources

seemed also to be influenced by winds between 10-13 knots, while the sites with average sound

levels above 55dB (A) appeared not to be. Wind speeds below 10 Knots (5m/s) in April and June

appeared to have no significant influence on sound levels.

There was no obvious link observed when average monthly rainfall and sound level figures were

compared. A more detailed analysis between daily or hourly values may have to be undertaken for a

link to be established, if any.

Compliance with Guidelines

Sound emission levels from certain sources, outside of the work environment, can be applied and

enforced through Integrated Pollution Prevention Control licences, Planning Control, or Section 107-

108 of the EPA Act 1992. There are no legally binding statutory limits for ambient sound levels as

there are for air quality. However the levels outlined below are used for guidance and comparison

purposes.

Areas with desirable\undesirable high\low sound levels

The Noise Action Plan proposes that areas with undesirable high sound levels are areas with a night

time level greater than 55 decibels and a daytime level greater than 70 decibels.

Areas with desirable low sound levels are defined as areas with a night time level less than 50

decibels and\or a daytime level less than 55 decibels.

The World Health Organisation Night Noise Guidelines (NNGL) for Europe indicate Night noise

guideline (NNG) Lnight, outside = 40 dB; Interim target (IT) Lnight, outside = 55 dB.

The measurements for the year 2009 indicate that none of the locations exceeded the undesirable

values of 55dB night\70dB day; 6 of the sites met the desirable criteria for night time levels

(Drumcondra, Raheny, Ringsend, Bull Island, Walkinstown, Ranelagh) . Four sites met the desirable

value for daytime, (Ringsend, Bull Island, Walkinstown, Ranelagh).

All of the sites met the WHO NNGL interim target for exterior night time level of 55dB.

Comparison with Noise Maps

Comparison with the results of the computer modelled Noisemaps indicate that in the majority of

cases the computer model over estimated sound levels. The model is most robust when calculating

values close to heavily trafficked roads. This was to be expected as the further one moves away from

the road centre line, the more complex the calculations become. As default traffic volumes were used

to represent traffic flows in many of the suburban areas further overestimation was inevitable,

particularly at night time.

From Fig 5 in can be noted that Ranelagh’s (Woodstock Gardens) monitoring location gives

somewhat unique results. This location is under review. Its results have been omitted when making

comparisons with other sites.

Difference between Noisemap values and Measured Sound values

(Noisemaps - Measured Values)

As can be seen from figure 6 above, the average difference between the noise maps and measured

values is more robust for daytime values and least robust for night time values. To rectify this for the

next round of noise mapping in 2012 it may be necessary to get a truer representation of traffic

volumes during the night time period rather than using default or daytime values. However it can be

concluded that the noise maps represent a worst case scenario.

Measurement Results

The Ambient sound monitoring network measures sound levels in decibels (dB(A)). It does not

measure noise. Noise is usually defined as "unwanted sound". "noise" and "sound" are often

erroneously interchanged. However ‘ Noise Annoyance’, is a term general used for all negative

feelings such as disturbance, dissatisfaction, displeasure, irritation and nuisance (Guski 1999, Quis,

2002). Adverse effects of noise occur when intended activities of the individual are disturbed. The

sound level of the acoustic stimulus, the time of its occurrence, its time domain, its frequency

spectrum and its informational content modify the reaction. During sleep, however, unconscious

activation of the autonomous system takes place without cognitive control, due to direct interaction

between the hearing nerve and higher structures of the central nervous system. Noise indicators such

as Lden and Lnight, in this respect, describe the exposure situation. (Dr. Wolfgang Babisch, Expert

Panel on Noise, EEA)

The LDEN -average sound level for day, evening and night time periods, is a single value parameter

that applies an extra 5dB weighting for the evening and 10dB weighting for the night time periods. It is

considered that this gives a truer representation of the impact sound has during the evening and night

time periods over and above the day time period.

Using the LDEN parameter it can be seen from figure 4 that the site with the highest sound values for

all four 24hr values is Ballymun. Chapelizod Rd(DCC Rowing Club), Navan Rd, Ballyfermot Rd,

Drumcondra and Raheny have very similar LDEN values. However this can hide some important

issues. So, for example although the Drumcondra site has higher sound levels than Navan Road

during the day the reverse is true for the night time. So whilst Drumcondra has met a ‘Desirable’ night

time criteria under the Noise Action Plan, Navan Road has not, even though it has lower sound levels

than Drumcondra during the day period. It is true for other monitoring sites also. This adds another

complexity to any actions that could be considered for reducing or managing sound levels.

It is worth noting the biggest drop off between daytime and night time values is at Drumcondra

(8.2dB) followed by Raheny (7.8dB), Ballymun (7.6dB), Walkinstown (6.9dB), Ballyfermot (5.6dB),

Ringsend (5.1dB) and Chapelizod (5dB). These sort of reductions could give an observer the

impression of ‘ relative quietness’ .Those in the areas with less of a reduction may feel there is no

difference between daytime and night time values and the area is ‘noisy’ all the time. This despite

night time values being lower at these sites than those with the larger night time reductions.

The site summaries average leq (sound levels) provide a more detailed view of how sound levels vary

from hour to hour throughout the average day and between the different days of the week. During the

average day sound levels along with traffic levels start rising at 6 a.m. After approximately 9 a.m.

sounds levels at most sites, except Drumcondra, Ballymun and Raheny, level off until between 8-

9pm when they start to fall. However average traffic volumes continue to rise gradually throughout the

day peaking between 6-7pm when they commence falling off. The previous 3 mentioned sites follow

this trend but sound levels don’t tend to commence dropping off until 8-9p.m.

Page 14 of 84

The monthly charts give a detailed view of how average daily sound levels change from day to day

and month to month. The highest monthly sound levels were experienced at most stations in

November followed by January. This coincided with similar high average wind speeds. Again most

sites showed sound levels dropping during June, July and August, except for Ballymun, which

showed consistent sound levels throughout the year. Bull Island showed the most erratic sound

levels of all the monitoring sites and at times it is hard to discern nigh time from day time values. It is

believed that this is due to local conditions such as tide times, wind and general natural sound, such

as waves breaking on the beach. As previously stated the Monitoring Network measures sound levels

– not noise, which is a subjective evaluation. Average sound levels at Bull Island are higher than

suburban sound levels in Ranelagh and Walkinstown. This would seem to be counter intuitive.

However this is worth remembering when making judgements in relation to what is considered noisy

or not.

Challenges

The main sound source to which people in the Dublin City region are being exposed to is from traffic –

during both day time and night time periods. For the night time period four sites are above the

desirable level of 50dB (A) – Ballymun, Chapelizod Rd, Navan Rd and Ballyfermot Rd. However all

sites are above the WHO NNGL of 40dB (A) and it is unlikely in the short to medium term that this

level will be met.

It may be obvious but the most direct way to reduce sound levels is to reduce the number of vehicles

on the roads and the speed at which the remaining vehicles travel. For example five axel vehicles

have all but been removed from the North Wall\Custom House Quay. However, there has been no

significant reduction in sound levels. It is thought that this is due to the increase in speed along these

roads due to the removal of the heavy vehicles. At night time sound levels only drop to their lowest at

approximately 3-4a.m. in the morning – despite low traffic volumes during the night period. Again this

is due to the increased speeds of the remaining vehicles on the roads at those times.

The reduction of vehicles on our roads can come about through a modal shift from the private car

used for commuting, to mass transit systems such as bus or rail or through personal modal changes

such as walking or cycling. Traffic management policies that reduce traffic speeds, improve traffic

flows and distribute traffic flows onto more appropriate roads will compliment these modal shifts.

These policies have been integrated into the Noise Action Plan for the Agglomeration of Dublin along

with planning policy and the identification of areas that require priority action in order to manage in a

proactive way sound sources and sound levels within the City.
