'According to James J. McKeehen, Delaware County Extension 666 681 690 691 36 36 42 39 677 36 660 763 Agricultural Agent, plants can be an effective way to deflect, absorb, diffract and mask sounds and noise in the environment. 740 40 688 725 44 40 To understand how plants act as mufflers, you need to understand some basic facts about noise. Sound moves outward from the source in waves with the highest pitched having the shortest 704 45 674 35 683 765 36 36 710 40 site is more than 40 miles from the sales office No sales 'eed be added Offer lect to change after May , 1980 Similar savings are mailable on other styles jf buildings although the amount of rebate may vary on building size ’ebate checks will be mailed im Morton, II , provided the ding is completed by June 30, Rebates do not apply to previously ordered buildings r Send information on Morton Buildings Have your salesman phone for an appointment j Machine-Sheds □ Free Stall Barns Horse Barns/Stables m Livestock Barns ~ Riding Arenas 1 1 Gram Storage P Calving Barns n Garages Shops Name J Address | Telephone | Rancher Farmer Businessman Teacher/Student 88 Plantings can help reduce noise 18,122 15,106 5.3 47 18,450 18,920 13 995 3 7 50 wave length. Sound may also be carried by the wind and its transmission is affected by precipitation and humidity. Sound waves also rise upward from the source. Noise levels can be reduced because of distance, air and ground absorption or when the waves strike objects such as buildings or land forms. Finally, lightweight flexible objects tend to vibrate more easily from sound waves and therefore absorb more sound waves than stiff, massive surfaces. Trees, shrubs, vines and turf areas all absorb noise very well, especially many 860 711 of the high frequency sounds. Many of the high frequency sounds have wavelengths not much longer than the average size of the twigs and leaves. The lightweight nature of the twigs and leaves allows them to vibrate easily and absorb more. There is also a secondary value from plants as far as noise control is concerned. The sounds created by the plants themselves as the wind rustles the foliage helps conceal and disguise of fensive noise. The fruit and concealing abilities of plants attract noise-making birds and animals whose sounds 653 707 693 also tend to mask other less pleasant noise. The actual amount of noise reduction will depend upon the density and size of the planting. In an area where space is limited, keep in mind that a single tree is better than nothing. Many downtown shopping areas have reduced traffic noise for shoppers with street trees and other plants m the business district. In the residential areas of a community, larger trees not only provide welcome shade but also absorb the upward moving traffic noise from the roadway. 4
