Environmental <strong>Noise</strong> Levels, A2 – Denman Road<br />

Engine continuum and rear dump trucks from <strong>Mangoola</strong> <strong>Coal</strong> were audible throughout the<br />

measurement. Track noise, train loading noise and CHPP continuum were also noted. These<br />

sources resulted in a <strong>Mangoola</strong> <strong>Coal</strong> only L Aeq of 24 dB. A surge in engine continuum<br />

generated the <strong>Mangoola</strong> <strong>Coal</strong> only L A1,1min of 28 dB.<br />

Road traffic noise generated the measured L A1 , L A10 and L Aeq . <strong>Mangoola</strong> <strong>Coal</strong> and insects<br />

and frogs combined to generate the measured L A90 .<br />

Cows, dogs, birds and bats were also noted.<br />
