Environmental <strong>Noise</strong> Levels, A1 – Castlerock Road<br />

Engine continuum from <strong>Mangoola</strong> <strong>Coal</strong> was audible throughout the measurement. Impact,<br />

dumping and loading noise, engine surge and reverse alarms were also audible. These<br />

sources resulted in a <strong>Mangoola</strong> only L Aeq of 30 dB.<br />

Road traffic tyre noise and frogs were responsible for all measured levels.<br />

Dogs were also noted.<br />
