Evaluating Hoosac Noise

The Hoosac Wind Sound Monitoring Report identified sound but failed in its task to measure noise. This is the assessment of a careful reader who reviewed the report presented to MassDEP. In his analysis, Chris Kapsambelis found that in only one of the testing events were the conditions appropriate for “worst case” sampling. He explains his findings and notes the missing factors that would have made the testing relevant to people who hear the noise from the massive project impacting Florida and Monroe in the Berkshires.
