objectives are based on the design requirements presented in AS/NZ 2107:2000\nAcoustics - Recommendations Design Sound Levels and Reverberation Times for Building Interiors,\nwhich are summarised as follows:\n AS/NZ 2107:2000 for sleeping areas near major roads, the design internal noise level ranges from\na satisfactory continuous noise level of 30 dBA, to a maximum continuous noise level of 40 dBA.\n The DNRC&BR therefore nominates a night-time (2200 hours to 0700 hours) noise criteria for\nsleeping areas (i.e. bedrooms) of 35 LAeq(9hour), and other habitable rooms (excluding garages,\nkitchens, bathrooms & hallways) 40 LAeq(period) at any time.\n If the night-time internal noise level with windows/doors open exceeds 35 LAeq(9hour) by more\nthan 10 dBA, the design of the ventilation for these rooms should be such that occupants can\nleave windows closed.\n  Source: `strategies/noise-impact-mitigation-strategy-report.pdf
