This presentation offers a practical overview of noise and vibration studies—what they involve, when they’re required, and how they support responsible project planning. Attendees will learn about key components such as data collection, analysis, and modeling, as well as typical scenarios where studies are needed, including construction and transportation projects. The session will also cover standard regulatory limits for noise and vibration, and introduce effective mitigation options to manage impacts. Ideal for professionals involved in project design, permitting, or environmental review, this session will strengthen your understanding of noise and vibration assessment and management.
