Abstract
ACRP 175 was published in 2018 and provides basic guidelines for design, installation, and operation of public address systems in airport terminals. There are approximately 400 airports in the US, and with over 550 underground stations and 2,600 above ground stations in the US , many
of these guidelines developed for airports can also be easily adapted for these transit stations. This paper provides an overview of ACRP 175 guidance with a focus on key factors for successful design and commissioning. As part of the research acoustic field studies were performed at six airports
and a total of 45 different spaces including ticketing, concourse, gate lounges, food courts, arrival/departure halls, baggage claim, and curbside locations. We describe experience using ACRP 175 on current design-build projects and discuss other relevant industry standards.

期刊介绍:
Noise and Health is the only International Journal devoted to research on all aspects of noise and its effects on human health. An inter-disciplinary journal for all professions concerned with auditory and non-auditory effects of occupational, environmental, and leisure noise. It aims to provide a forum for presentation of novel research material on a broad range of topics associated with noise pollution, its control and its detrimental effects on hearing and health. It will cover issues from basic experimental science through clinical evaluation and management, technical aspects of noise reduction systems and solutions to environmental issues relating to social and public health policy.
