Living with helicopter noise : evaluating sound insulation techniques for domestic dwellings using real helicopters (2011)
Journal Article
Kerry, G., Waddington, D., & Lomax1, C. (2013). Living with helicopter noise : evaluating sound insulation techniques for domestic dwellings using real helicopters. Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 34(2), 223-239. https://doi.org/10.1177/0143624411427376

Specific remedial works designed to improve sound installation and reduce the noise level produced by helicopters inside dwellings are described. The theoretical problems and practical solutions to installing high performance acoustic insulation to a...

Journal Article
Waddington, D., Clayton, T., Fiumicelli, D., Clarke, T., & Mitchell, S. (2011). The noise policy statement for England : significance, application and implications. Acoustics bulletin / Institute of Acoustics, 36(2),

The Noise Policy Statement for England, published by Defra in March 2010, describes a ‘policy vision to facilitate decisions regarding what is an acceptable noise burden to place on society’. The publication of the NPSE coincided with the formal adop... Read More about The noise policy statement for England : significance, application and implications.

Structure-borne sound and vibration from building-mounted wind turbines (2011)
Journal Article
Moorhouse, A., Elliott, A., Eastwick, G., Evans, T., Ryan, A., von Hünerbein, S., …Waddington, D. (2011). Structure-borne sound and vibration from building-mounted wind turbines. Environmental Research Letters, 6(3), 035102. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/6/3/035102

Noise continues to be a significant factor in the development of wind energy resources. In the case of building-mounted wind turbines (BMWTs), in addition to the usual airborne sound there is the potential for occupants to be affected by structure-bo...
