Vehicles traveling city streets are being
monitored for excessive noise by the Lincoln-Lancaster
County Health Dept. and
the Lincoln Police Dept. (LTD).
The two departments tested more than
3,000 vehicles for excessive noise violations
and IS violations cards have been issued.
The noise checks are done with a sound
level meter, which measures the noise level
in decibels.
' The checks are conducted on city
streets by a health official and a police
man. Richard McDvain, noise pollution
control specialist with the Health Dept.
environmental health' division, said the
meter must be placed 50 feet from the.
roadside when measuring the sound.
. Vioiaters are asked only to fill out a
noise correction card and to return it to
the Health Dept. Only one of the 15 cards .
issued has been returned, records show.
McElvain said the number of violations
has been greater, but the policemen assign
ed to the tests haven't been present all the
time to stop the cars. Health Dept. figures
show an additional 145 violations were
committed in October, but because the
policemen had been called away from the
site for various reasons, no cards could be
issued.
The same Health Dept. figures show
that of the 31 hours of testing, a police
man was present for 17 and a half hours.
Only three violations were recorded in
November, but McElvain said that figure
could be deceiving. He said the Health
Dept. is allowed to test only on good
days, and with a food piosoning case earl
ier in the month, only one day was left for
testing.
The Health Dept. is allowed to test only
on days when there are no adverse weather
conditions, McElvain said. The theory
behind this is that different driving cortdi
lions dictate different noise -levels, he
explained.
A city ordinance passed in 1971 re
quires that the sound level of cars travel
ing less than 35 mJi. cannot exceed 82
decibels.
The level of normal human conversation
is 55-60 decibels. The rate of a garbage
disposal is about 80 decibels. Ear dam
age is possible when the sound reaches 85
decibels.
The allowable noise level for motor
cycles and trucks is slightly higher. The
Police Dept. has not been issuing tickets
for the violations, but McElvain said he
hopes it soon will.
"So far the whole thrust of the program
has been voluntary compliance," he added.
Violating the noise -ordinance is a mis
demeanor and carries a fine of up to $500,
or JO days in jail or both.
