� ^ To assess the potential maximum peak noise condition, the dogs were all purposely agitated into a barking frenzy during each sampling episode. This was accomplished by several persons physically running up and down Che aisles between the kennels. Based on the pre-test observations, this level of noise would never be achieved due to the constant care and attention given to the occupants of the hotel by the large staff of PetSmart care givers. However, as a result of the experiment the peak noise level measured at any given moment inside the hotel was: Store # 0157 - 7290 W. Bell Rd. 104.6 dBA Store # 0131 - 10825 Tatum Blvd 109.2 dBA In addition to the indoor measurements, exterior measurements were also obtained at the samc time. These outdoor measurements provide a comparable measurernent between the indoor noise level and therefore the amount of noise level transfer. The outdoor measurements were obtained from within twenty feet (20') feet of the front of the building, within 1 foot of the rear door contiguous to the hotel area, at a distance of fifty feet (50') from the rear of the building, at a distance of fifty feet (50') from an exterior wall contiguous to the space occupied by the dogs and from the roof above the pets hotel space. The results were as follows: Position Front of Building Store #0157 7290 W. Bell Rd.
