2 Average DNL (Day-Night Level) Airport Noise Management Annual Report 2014 Page 2 N O I S E M O N I T O R I N G D A T A The Average Annual DNL values for the years 2012 to 2014 for the eight permanent noise monitors are shown in the chart below. Seven permanent noise monitors had a decrease in DNL levels ranging from 0.5 to 4.2 for the year One monitor had an increase of.2 from the previous year. An increase/decrease of 3 DNL represents a doubling/halving of the noise energy. All noise levels shown are measured in DNL (Day-Night Level). DNL represents noise exposure events averaged over a given time period. To account for human sensitivity to noise between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., noise events occurring during these hours receive a penalty when the DNL is calculated. Each nighttime event is measured as if ten daytime events occurred. 75 Noise Monitoring Data Average Annual DNL Years Year Year 2013 Year Site 1 Site 3 Site 5 Site 7 Site 8 Site 11 Site 12 Site 13
