On Wednesday 9th March, RBA Acoustics were happy to welcome Richard Earis to our offices. Richard was the winner of the annual RBA Acoustics prize for the best dissertation on the Environmental and Architectural Acoustics MSc course at London South Bank University.
Having received his prize from Director Torben Andersen, Richard kindly discussed with us the background behind his dissertation, which was entitled ‘An investigation into noise and annoyance from the London Overground Railway in South Hackney’.
The study compared the pre-construction noise impact predictions with measured post-construction noise levels of the new line in north London and looked into how well absolute noise level correlates with annoyance.
