Purpose:
Noise by definition, is “unwanted sound,” and is a subjective reaction to acoustical energy or sound levels. Due to the rural nature of the communities and the pristine natural areas in the in the Lake Tahoe Basin (Basin), noise management is an integral part of the land use planning and the environmental improvement processes at Lake Tahoe. Visitors and residents have expressed concerns about the decline in serenity of their community and their enjoyment of the outdoors due to excessive noise from sources such as on-highway vehicles, off-highway vehicles, over-snow vehicles, watercraft, and aircraft. For this reason, the TRPA developed a noise program designed to reduce noise levels and restore and maintain the serenity to the area. The purpose of this report is to provide an evaluation of the past program and provide recommendations for future improvement.
