Residential Noise Monitoring – Cardiff NSW Acoustic Assessment
A recent acoustic survey was conducted on Penylan Street, Cardiff, as part of a residential compliance assessment in response to concerns about traffic noise and neighbourhood sound levels.
Why Cardiff Needs Professional Acoustic Monitoring
Located within the Lake Macquarie LGA, Cardiff is a growing suburban area with a mix of older homes and new developments. As traffic volumes and housing density increase, so too does the need for accurate environmental noise assessments.
Our team from Newcastle Acoustic Consultants deployed Class 1 noise logging equipment on-site to measure background sound levels in accordance with the NSW EPA’s Noise Policy for Industry and relevant DA compliance requirements.
Acoustic Conditions Observed
Key acoustic observations at Penylan Street included:
- ✅ Low ambient noise levels during early mornings
- ✅ Localised traffic noise from nearby streets
- ✅ Intermittent residential activity (e.g., garden tools, pets)
- ✅ Clear meteorological conditions ideal for measurement
Noise data was captured over a 24-hour period and analysed against typical thresholds for suburban residential zones.
