"I'o assess the potential maximum peak noise condition, the dogs were all purposely agitated into <br />a barking frenzy during each sampling episode. This was accomplished by several persons <br />physically n►nning up and down the aisles between the kennels. Based on the pre-test <br />observations, this level of noise would never be achieved due to the constant care and attention <br />given to the occupants of the hotel by the large staff of PetSmart care givers. However, as a result <br />of the experiment the peak noise level measured at any given moment inside the hotel was: <br />Store # 0157 - 7290 W. Bell Rd. 104.6 dBA <br />Store # 0131 - 10825 Tatum Blvd 109.2 d8A <br />In addition to the indoor measurements, exterior measurements were also obtained at the <br />same time. These outdoor measurements provide a comparable measurement between the indoor <br />noise level and therefore the amount of noise level transfer. The outdoor measurements were <br />obtaiized from within twenty feet (20') feet of the front of the btiilding, within 1 foot of the rear <br />door contiguous to the liotel area, at a distance of fiCty feet (50'} from the rear of the building, at a <br />distance of fifty feet (SU') from an exterior wall contiguous to the space occupied by the dogs and <br />from the roof above the pets hotel space. Tl�e results were as follows: <br />Daytime <br />Position Ambient <br />Front of Building 53 dBA <br />i�acic of �3uilding <br />�at the rear door) 48 dBA <br />50' Back of Building 48 dBA <br />West Side of <br />Building <br />West Side of <br />Building 50' <br />Store #0157 <br />7290 W.
