ACOUSTIC REPORTS;

(1) The principles and procedures for preparing acoustic reports for planned and existing environmental noise sources are given in Appendix-5.

(2) The relevant administration may request acoustic reports specific to the source if needed.

(3) Environmental noise level and noise mitigation measures are determined within the scope of acoustic reports.

(4) Noise modeling studies shall be conducted upon request of the relevant administration.

(5) Acoustic reports are updated in case of changes in the noise source or noise abatement conditions.

ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE CRITERIA FOR TRANSPORTATION SOURCES

(1) The level of environmental noise emitted from transportation sources shall meet the provisions and limit values set out in Appendix-2.

(2) Transport vehicles shall make use of the best available technologies for the reduction of environmental noise.

(3) Noise reduction equipment in the horns and exhausts of motor vehicles shall not be modified or rendered inoperable.

(4) On or in motor vehicles; horns or sound-making devices shall not be played in such a way as to cause noise disturbance except in compulsory cases.

ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE CRITERIA FOR MUSIC BROADCASTING BUSINESSES and MARINE VESSELS

(1) Workplaces and marine vessels broadcasting music causing environmental noise in residential areas shall comply with the provisions set out in Appendix-2.

(2) An acoustic report is prepared and evaluated by the Provincial Directorate for workplaces and marine vessels broadcasting music, and a music broadcasting permit is granted.

(3) The procedures and principles regarding the music broadcasting license shall be determined by the Ministry.

(4) The border coordinates of the areas where marine vessels broadcasting music can broadcast music are determined by the Provincial Local Environment Board Decision.

(5) Administrative sanctions shall be imposed in case the marine vessels broadcasting music operate outside the determined coordinates.

(6) The environmental noise level emitted by marine vessels broadcasting music shall be measured by the Provincial Directorate at the points determined on the shore with a continuous monitoring system.

(7) The Provincial Directorate shall have an environmental noise continuous monitoring system installed in the areas where workplaces broadcasting music Table 1 in Annex-2 to determine whether the limit values in Table 1 in Annex-2 are met and the relevant administration shall be informed electronically.

(8) The relevant administration may have acoustic planning and sound power limiting systems installed to keep the sound pressure level under control.

(9) In areas where more than one music broadcasting workplace or music broadcasting marine vessel operate together and at the same time, additional noise control measures may be determined.

(10) Strategic noise maps and strategic noise action plans shall be taken into account in the site selection and planning of music broadcasting workplaces planned to be established as specified in the relevant legislation.

(11) In case of three violations of the provisions of this Regulation within the same calendar year, the Provincial Directorate shall revoke the music broadcasting permit. The workplace whose music broadcasting permit has been canceled may reapply for a music broadcasting permit after two calendar years.
