Western Springs noise monitoring results

What we monitor

We use noise monitoring equipment to:

• address concerns about speedway noise
• measure noise levels every five minutes and note any breaches to the maximum noise level of 89db
• ensure the overall event complies with an average overall level of 83dB
• ensure that activities comply with the district plan.

We also monitor wind speed, which is essential.

Weather conditions have a significant impact on noise levels. When wind speed exceeds 5m/sec, we cannot take readings as results will be inaccurate.
