The noise model will be a very valuable tool for the city and port authorities in making planning decisions and to predict future noise impact on the port and its surroundings. A noise model of the port and its surroundings will be created, and validated with field measurements (2) to assess the noise impact and identify the key noise source in the area (3) to determine, through field measurements, the noise and activity variations during the period of study. The purpose of this study is to model the noise of container terminals at the port of Long Beach with the following specific objectives: (1) to determine, using noise mapping, the level of noise generated by the cargo handling and transport activities at the container terminals. As the container sector has the highest growth potential, the levels of noise generated by container traffic and handling activities may present a problem. The Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex is the nation's largest ocean freight hub and its busiest container port complex. National Center of Green Technology & Education, College of Engineering,ġ250 Bellflower Blvd, Long Beach, CA 90840, - Noise emissions from various transportation modes including seaports have become a major concern to environmental and governmental agencies in recent years due to the impact they have on the community.
