TLDR
The Congress included among the requirements of the Noise Control Act of 1972 a directive that the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency develop and publish criteria with respect to noise and then publish information on the levels of environmental noise.Abstract:
The Congress included among the requirements of the Noise Control Act of 1972 a directive that the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency "...develop and publish criteria with respect to noise..." and then "publish information on the levels of environmental noise the attainment and maintenance of which in defined areas under various conditions are requisite to protect the public health and welfare with an adequate margin of safety."read more

Noise Exposure Questionnaire: A Tool for Quantifying Annual Noise Exposure.
TL;DR: The results of aim 2 suggest that the screening tool, the 1‐Minute Noise Screen, can be used to identify those participants with high‐ and low‐risk noise exposure, allowing more in‐depth assessment of noise exposure history to be targeted at those most at risk.
