The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), with the cooperation of the National Park Service (NPS) and assistance of the U.S. Department of Transportation, John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center) is developing Air Tour Management Plans (ATMP) or Voluntary Agreements (VA) for all national parks with commercial air tours, with the exception of the Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP), tribal lands within or abutting the GCNP, Rocky Mountain National Park, and national park units located in Alaska. An important area of technical support is the determination of representative baseline ambient sound levels for the study parks. The FAA, with the assistance of the Volpe Center’s Environmental Measurement and Modeling Division, and the NPS conducted baseline ambient sound level measurements during June 2003 in Pu`ukohola Heiau National Historic Site, Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, and Pu`uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park. Approximately one week of acoustical and meteorological data were measured at multiple sites in each park. This document summarizes the results of the noise measurement study.
