Community Noise Lab’s primary aim is to holistically explore the relationship between community noise and health by working directly with communities to address their specific noise issues using real-time monitoring, our smartphone app, NoiseScore , community noise surveying, laboratory-based experiments, and community engagement activities. Actions center on challenging existing (or developing) new policy, procedures, tools, and resources and evaluating not only how sound is impacting community health but how it is also an environmental justice issue. We have worked with (or are currently working with) several communities across New England, on issues ranging from live concerts to airport noise, below is a list of communities we are working with:
