National Parks Service gets Owned by themselves

[MrDingleDangle]

I was listening to NPR last night and they were doing an story on the National Park Services and a study they are doing on Noise pollution at parks, so that they can try and restore normal sounds allowing visiters to come and see nature the way it should be, because right now they feel that the parks are being ruined by noise.

after a study or 20+ parks they found the top noise makers in national parks is

not snowmobiles
not car radios

the most sounds comes from the National Park Services employees! (road construction, laundry services, etc...)


lol

I can understand road construction being loud. However, I cannot see how laundry would be loud.

Is noise measured by loudness, duration, or frequency?

Airplanes are a disruption in many parks, as are boats and snowmobiles. But Trevino says most sounds come from park service operations -- whether it's the rumble of laundry trucks or the jackhammer sounds from construction of roads and buildings. She says the park service is just starting to realize it needs to manage its own sound -- and that awareness is the first goal of the Natural Sounds Program.
