[edit] Dispersal of introduction

A user had altered this article by inserting a number of inaccuracies. Architectural design and occupational noise control are not "sources" of noise as the edit stated. That edit seems to be an awkward cut and paste of materials already in the article, but the arrangement has broungt in the inaccuracies. further the introduction was shortened to one line and all substantive information present in the introduction was dispersed to other parts of the article. Wikipedia guidelines for well written articles state the desirability of an introduction (see FAC item 3) to span the topic. The inaccuracies and removal of a substantive introduction have been reverted. In the future that editor is advised to discuss major article changes on the article talk page....i would hope others would comment on this matter. Covalent 16:33, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Noise mitigation

You have altered this article by inserting a number of inaccuracies. Architectural design and occupational noise control are not "sources" of noise as your edit states. Your edit seems to be an awkward cut and paste of materials already in the article, but your arrangement has broungt in the inaccuracies. further you have dispersed the introduction. Wikipedia guidelines for well written articles state the desirability of an introduction (see FAC item 3) to span the topic. In your edit the introduction has one line which alludes to no substance. In the future it might be prudent to discuss major article changes on the article talk page, until your factual knowledge of a topic advances. Please respond on the article talk page if you care to respond. Covalent 16:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I merely added some headings. Yes some material would need to be moved to make sense under these headings. Sorry. --Light current 17:41, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

You have removed some important images desirable to the illustration of this article. Your heading of interior noise now confuses the reader, since it overlaps (in an unnecessary way) the existing architectural solutions heading with its content. The information as presented was useful in the introduction. Please discuss such structural changes in advance, since your edits seem to regress the article, deprive useful information to the reader and remove the completeness of an introduction as set forth in wikipedia guidelines for introductions.Covalent 18:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

What do the images illustrate actually?--Light current 20:26, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

the images illustrate as follows:
  • roadway photo shows variations in roadway geometrics (grade, curvature, etc) and terrain which are very important to roadway source strength and propagation respectively.

OK I have modified caption to bring this out.--Light current 02:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

  • hybrid vehicle which is the only major transportation source noise reduction invention in 100 years (electric cars would suffice also, but they have failed to become widely distributed as hybrids have and continue to gain market share).

THis could be any car. It looks similar to mine! A better imge should be chosen here.--Light current 02:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

  • aircraft. i have found a new image that shows proximity to homes. probably a better demonstration of the effect of aircraft noise.

I dont have a problem with the aircraft over homes image. THis illustrates te problem well.--Light current 03:00, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your constructive edit to the roadway photo. Covalent 02:58, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


first of all, i am not associated with any hybrid auto manufacturers. but the point is that hybrid technology is an incredible breakthrough for enivironmental noise and most people dont realize that fact. hybrids are rather non-distintive looking, but this is a very notable point in the whole article and well worth an image to make such a point clear. Do you have a better idea for a photo? we could use the lexus RX but it looks more like a typical suv than the prius resembles its counterparts.

A comparison graph of noise o/p from conventional and hybrid cars would be far more illustrative.--Light current 03:08, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the Autobahn picture, we ought to say whether this a is a good design of road and house placement or not. I dont have any idea from the picture or the article!.--Light current 03:06, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

caption has been expanded to so explain. Covalent 01:22, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

OK thats a lot clearer. Thats what I mean about the use of images-- we have to be explicit.--Light current 01:25, 4 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Car caption

Example of what we need:

This hybrid vehicle produces (20 dB) less noise than conventional cars because of .....blah blah
