Attitudes toward environmental noise in rural and non-rural Canada : methodological report / prepared for Health Canada.: H14-373/2021E-PDF
"Health Canada's provision of advice on noise and health for impact assessments (IA) under the Impact Assessment Act (IAA) is formulated from a global science base that is derived from social surveys conducted in developed urban/sub-urban areas. The department has very little information on attitudes and expectations toward noise in rural or remote communities, and no data that is specific to Indigenous Canadians. This has been identified as a knowledge gap for several years insofar as Health Canada's current guidelines (Health Canada, 2017) include a significant decibel adjustment (i.e., +10dB) based on an assumed greater expectation of peace and quiet in so-called "quiet rural areas""--Executive summary, page 1.
