How will children be affected if a school is located in a high noise zone?
In buildings without adequate sound protection, aircraft noise may impact how well school-age children learn. Noise reduction can help significantly. For example, while schools are normally considered incompatible with outside noise levels of 65-75 dB, sound-proofing the building can reduce the amount of noise reaching the students. Outside noise should be reduced to approximately 45 dB as it is measured in a classroom.
