16-11: Using ATC-128 For Sound Testing & Verification In The Field Mechanical Draft Towers

16-11: Using ATC-128 For Sound Testing & Verification In The Field Mechanical Draft TowersThis paper will evaluate the standard and published data for small towers per ATC 128 with respect to usability for acoustical consultants. Through testing of fully operationally field installed units and test stand towers some challenges and opportunities have been identified to help improve the use and accuracy of ATC 128. Using ATC 128 in the field has distinct challenges associated with height, distance, and background noise. The paper includes a
