Glacier National Park: Baseline Ambient Sound Levels 2004

The Volpe Center conducted baseline ambient sound level measurements during August 2004, where approximately two weeks of acoustical and meteorological data were measured at eight sites throughout the park. The primary goal of the site selection process was to identify the minimum number of field-measurement sites, which would allow for characterization of the baseline ambient sound levels throughout the entire park. This was accomplished by identifying acoustically representative regions for which data could be collected and stratified, i.e., “acoustic zones.” These data could then be applied to other regions in the park possessing similar attributes, which will affect acoustics, such as land cover, wind conditions, and wildlife habitats.
