A procedure for the assessment of Low Frequency Noise (LFN) by Environmental Health officers has recently been developed in the UK. The development of the assessment method included laboratory test, interview-based questionnaires and field measurements. The results of the field measurements are presented in the form of frequency analyses and time histories. The examples are likely to be of particular interest to Environmental Health officers involved in the assessment of low frequency noise complaints.
