This study collected the environmental noise and traffic noise measurement results from local government to analyze the cause of disqualifying stations and suggest the improvable measure. The percentage of qualifying hour intervals of environmental noise level was above 90% in first three quarter of 2009, so it would achieve the yearly target 87.5% in 2009. For realizing the cause of the disqualifying station, there were twenty-one noise as well as twenty-six days measurements in situ and then several improvable ways were proposed to help the future monitoring. 2 This study also reviewed all the in-use environmental and traffic noise station and then classified by their locations, then analyzed and proposed several reasons which affected the noise measurement in such locations and give some suggestions for representative. Three meetings for noise measurement were hold to explain the noise measurement and disqualifying situation. One training conference was hold to introduce the noise metric, monitoring in situ and the draft of traffic noise standards and noise control plan. The draft of “Environmental Sound Level Standards” amendment was proposed and under discussing by EPA, and the “Fee Collection Standards for Noise Control Act” was promulgated. The noise control standards announced by various county/city governments pursuant to Article 8 and 9 of the Noise Control Act vary significantly largely due to their different city types and public lifestyles. For the questionnaire survey collected 1,235 effective samples, this project suggested that indoor folk activities noise be controlled in accordance with regulations on improper behaviors during noise sensitive periods in people’s normal daily schedule. In addition, this project has assisted in the control operations of noise-related science group programs to make their benefits meet the operation and performance requirements of the National Science Council.
