The tests were performed to analyze and quantify the radiation characteristics of sound generated within the property to the surrounding neighborhood, in particular the residential properties located to the East of the subject property. The process used to assess sound propagation in this type situation is as follows. A sound system capable of generating very high sound pressure levels (SPL) is placed within the structure being examined. A specific test signal called Pink Noise is played through the system. Using a combination sound level meter (SLM) and real-time audio spectrum analyzer (RTA), the system's output is adjusted to a generate a sound pressure level of 100 decibels (dB) within the space. This data is measured and stored for future reference. Music program material played at the reference level is then substituted for the pink noise source to have a more easily identified signal when testing outside the building. The measurement system is then taken outside the building and measurements are made around the perimeter to assess any sound that leaks from the building, paying particular attention to doors and windows. It is these openings that are most susceptible to sound leaks and therefore of prime interest during the process. Indeed, as doors provide entry and egress to buildings and are subject to being open, it is important to consider these openings. More on that later. Specific to this property, we were charged with determining whether music played within the building would be audible at the residential properties to the East. Sections 36-4 and 36-5 of the City of Miami Noise Ordinance specify that: "It shall be unlawful for any person owning, occupying or having charge of any building or premises or any part thereof, in the city, at any time to cause or suffer or allow any loud, unnecessary, excessive or unusual noises in the operation of any radio, phonograph or other mechanical sound -making device or instrument, or reproducing device or instrument, or in the playing of any band, orchestra, musician or group of musicians, or in the use of any device to amplify the music of any band, orchestra, musician or group of musicians, where the noise or music is plainly audible at a distance of 100 feet from the building, structure, vehicle or premises in which or from which it is produced. The fact that the noise or music is plainly audible at a distance of 100 feet from the vehicle or premises from which it originates constitutes prima facie evidence of a violation of this chapter."

Measurements were taken just outside the East entrance as a reference, location 1 as shown in Figure 1 below. Additional test locations are also shown in Figure 1. These are: 1. Reference sound level outside East entrance (80.8 dB SPL measured) 2. the property line which separates the parking lot associated with the subject building and the property addressed 631 NE 82nd Street (57.2 dB SPL predicted) 3. the property line which separates the eastern -most parking lot and the property at 655 NE 82"d Street (50.6 dB SPL predicted) 4. the NE corner of the parking lot adjacent to the residential properties at 655 NE 82nd Street and 644 NE 82"d Terrace (49.8 dB SPL predicted) Please refer to the attached documents from Miami -Dade County's Property Appraisal Department web site. 5. Sound level (48.6 dB SPL predicted) on the property at 644 NE 82" Terrace 100ft Figure 1 - Sound level predictions based on measured level of 80.8 dB SPL at building entrance The sound levels referred to as "SPL predicted" were generated using a computer -assisted sound propagation modeling program called EASE Address. This modeling program, used in conjunction with satellite photographs of the area under investigation, allows the investigation into how sound expands into an area and the prediction of sound levels at various distances from the sound source. In this case, the sound level measured outside the entrance to the building was used in the simulation. Markers placed on the area map show the resulting predicted sound level at each location of interest. These levels are then compared with measured data obtained during the sound transmission test. Comparing the measured and predicted levels allows one to determine whether the test signal generated within the structure is influencing the environment. Figure 2 shows sound pressure levels superimposed on the map of the area, in the same manner as temperatures are displayed on satellite maps by weathermen on the news. The color scale illustrates changes in sound level rather than temperature. .�l N PA• ��yn-Aud Cnni n-CR wsA ...Ia., SocAly cf Me..:..

Gravity, light and many other physical effects exhibit this rate of change with varying distance from a source. Applied to acoustics, the inverse square law change in level states that for any doubling of distance from a source, the sound level will decrease by 6 dB. Thus, for a sound source measuring 90 dB at a distance of 10 feet, the level observed at 20 feet would be 84 dB, at 40 feet 78 dB, at 80 feet 72 dB and so on. The distance from the subject building to its eastern property line is approximately 200 feet, representing a change in level of about 30 dB. Diagonally to the NE comer of the parking lot measures 215 feet, roughly the same in sound level loss. This is shown by the predicted levels in both Figures 1 and 2. Figure 3 below shows the actual measured sound levels at four locations; inside the structure (test signal on), outside the East entrance (test signal on), ambient noise level at Midnight in the NE comer of the parking lot (test signal on) and ambient noise level recorded in front of the residence at 661 NE 83rd Street (test signal on). Comparing the measured sound levels with the test signal on at the two distant locations, please note that the predicted level for the test signal at each location is lower than the measured ambient noise levels. This would indicate that the program material played inside the structure would be inaudible given the natural ambient noise experienced at these two locations. Traffic noise along 82nd Street has a significant impact on the neighborhood noise floor (ambient level) as noted in the difference (5.36 dB) between the 82nd Street (62.88 dB SPL) and 83rd Street (57.52 dB SPL) sound levels. Furthermore, the measured ambient noise level at 821'd Street (62.88 dB SPL) is 13 dB above the sound level of our test signal predicted in the computer model (48.6 dB SPL) at that location. This difference in sound level represents a subjective difference equal to a perceived "half as loud" as the ambient noise for the program material. This makes a very convincing case for the argument that, under the conditions present the night of the tests, music played at very high levels within the structure under examination would not be audible at the East property line adjacent to the residential NF A 20o7, reYn-AudGoni nscR ri ei n N rl 0 C O 0 t H Page 3 of 10 THE AUDIO BUG, INC. 3800 HILLCREST DRIVE, # 102 • HOLLYWOOD, FL 33021 • PHONE: 954-983-2788 • FAx: 954-983-2789 • audiobugl (a aol.com The 3800 E Iywood, 90.0 Audio Bug, Inc.

Important to the discussion is the fact that sound levels generated during the tests were unrealistically high compared to those envisioned for the proposed facility. As a supper club / lounge, music levels of 100 dB SPL would render conversation extremely difficult if not impossible within the space. I would foresee music sound levels not exceeding 85 dB SPL as more appropriate to the facility. You will note that we have had several discussions about designing a suitable sound system for the property and that you are in agreement with these figures. As applied to the test data discussed above, reducing the interior sound levels from 100 dB to 85 dB would result in corresponding reductions in all the data presented. Sound levels at the East entrance would drop from 85 dB to 70 dB, and predicted sound levels would likewise drop by 15 dB. This would further ensure that music from within the facility would not be audible at any of the adjacent residential properties. Finally, architectural drawings provided by architect Dan Robertson of HR Design indicate that a foyer is to be installed at the East entry way. This will provide a "sound lock," much like an air lock on the Space Shuttle, that will introduce a significant degree of sound transmission loss not present during our tests. Typical sound level reductions with such barriers can be between 20 and 30 dB depending on the type of construction. This will further ensure that sound will NF �Syn-Aud-Con n=cR Is +_aanK..t Saccrya _c ▪ O 1 a a E E .47;O N O T fy 0 1— U = C O O f0 u N • NI .� ' a v Ea` 0 ual d Page 4 of 10 THE AUDIO BUG, INC. 3800HILLCRESTDRIVE, # 102 • HOLLYWOOD, FL 33021 • PHONE: 954-983-2788 • FAX: 954-983-2789 • audiobugl(c�aol.com not escape the building. Indeed, it's likely that music will be inaudible outside the East entrance when the door is closed and just barely audible when the door is open for short periods of time for patrons to gain access to or leave the building. Certainly, never would it approach the benchmark of being "plainly audible at 100 feet" as stipulated in the Noise Ordinance. In summary, the proposed super club / lounge will have no negative impact on the neighborhood nor will it generate any violation of the City of Miami's Noise Ordinance.

[As points of reference, 0 dB-SPL equals the threshold of hearing, while 140 dB-SPL equals irreparable hearing damage.] See: inverse square law below. 1 Pascal = 94 dB SPL. Average face-to-face conversation equals approximately 65 dB SPL. Decibel (dB) = means of expressing power ratios, i.e. the difference between two sound levels, or an absolute sound level expressed in Sound Pressure Level (SPL) referenced to a standard pressure, i.e. 94 dB SPL = 1 Pascal. dBA = "A" weighted sound pressure level. Please refer to the attached discussion of weighting filters and their applications. SLM = Sound Level Meter. Device used to measure sound pressure levels. Lmin = Lowest, or softest, Sound Pressure Level measured during the test period. Lmax = Highest, or loudest, Sound Pressure Level measured during the test period. Ley = Equivalent continuous sound level. The steady level which would produce the same sound energy over the test period as the specified time -varying sound. This figure is useful for studying long-term trends in environmental noise. A single Leg number is often used to define an entire measurement period. L10 = Sound level exceeded 10% of the measurement period. Highest of the Ln figures. L50 = Sound level exceeded 50% of the measurement period. Median of the Ln figures. L90 = Sound level exceeded 90% of the measurement period. Lowest of the Ln figures. This figure is most commonly used in estimating true ambient noise level. Lmean = Mathematically averaged Sound Pressure Level. NC = Noise Criteria, a standardized method of characterizing noise loudness. Extensively used in the analysis of noise and vibration. Sone = a subjective unit of loudness for an average listener equal to the loudness of a 1 kHz. sound that has an intensity 40 decibels above the listener's own threshold of hearing. Phon = the unit of loudness on a scale beginning at zero for the faintest audible sound (0.00002 Pascals) and corresponding to the decibel scale of sound intensity with the number of phons of a given sound being equal to the decibels of a pure 1 kHz tone judged by the average listener to be equal in loudness to the given sound.

Sound propagates in all directions to form a spherical field, thus sound energy is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, i.e., doubling the distance quarters the sound energy (the inverse square law), so SPL is attenuated 6 dB for each doubling of distance from the source. Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) = The average of the individual sound absorption coefficients at 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz, to the nearest .05. Impact Insulation Class (IIC) = Single -number rating that indicates the amount of impact noise isolation provided by a floor/ceiling assembly. The higher the number, the better the floor/ceiling assembly. Sound Transmission Class (STC) = A single -number rating that indicates the sound transmission Toss of a partition or ceiling system between adjacent closed rooms. STC Ratings are: 25 Normal speech can be understood quite clearly 30 Loud speech can be understood fairly well 35 Loud speech is audible but not intelligible 42 Loud speech is audible as a murmur 45 Must strain to hear loud speech 48 Some loud speech is barely audible 50 Loud speech is not audible Definitions 1) sonic: utilizing, produced by, or relating to sound waves; broadly: of or involving sound: having a frequency within the audibility range of the human ear: of, relating to, or being the speed of sound in air or about 761 miles per hour (1224 kilometers per hour) at sea level at 59°F (15°C) 2) subsonic: of, relating to, or being a speed less than that of sound in air 3) supersonic: of, being, or relating to speeds from one to five times the speed of sound in air 4) hypersonic: of or relating to speed five or more times that of sound in air 5) audio: of or relating to acoustic, mechanical, or electrical frequencies corresponding to normally audible sound waves which are of frequencies approximately from 20 to 20,000 hertz 6) infrasonic: having or relating to a frequency below the audibility range of the human ear (< 20 Hz) 7) ultrasonic: having a frequency above the human ear's audibility limit of about 20,000 hertz 8) audible: heard or capable of being heard 9) intelligible: capable of being understood or comprehended 10) aural: heard or perceived with the ear Page 7 of 10 Submitted into the public record in connection with items PZ.2 on 01-27-11 Priscilla A.

The information is an extract from "The New Audio Cyclopedia, Handbook for Sound Engineers", edited by Glen Ballou. It can be found on page 21 of that reference publication. 1.16 Weighting Networks Sound level meters come with one or more weighting networks built in. The question confronting the user is, "Which one should I use?" The frequency responses of the three standard networks (A, B and C) are shown in figure 1-16. In the simplest terms, these different curves are designed to give readings of sound pressure level that will correspond, at least roughly, with human response to the sound. As we shall see in Chapter 2 "Psycho Acoustics," the Fletcher -Munson curves show that the human ear is less sensitive at lower frequencies than at a frequency of 1 kHz. This effect is greater for lower -level sounds than for louder sounds. Therefore, it makes sense to reduce the sensitivity of the sound level meter (chiefly in the lower frequencies) so that its readings follow the characteristics of the ear more closely. The A -weighted curve of Fig. 1-16 is based on the 40 phon Fletcher -Munson equal -loudness contour and is to be preferred for measuring lower -level sounds such as background noise. The B-weighted curve is based on the 70-phon equal -loudness contour and is suitable for measuring sounds of intermediate level. Measurements taken with the A and B weighting are called weighted sound levels. The C weighting is essentially flat and is used for very loud sounds. It is also used when sound pressure levels are to be measured and generally when the sound level meter feeds a signal to other instruments for analysis. Table 1-4. Use of Weiahtina Networks Sound Level Range, in dB Recommended_WeightingNetwork 20 - 55 A 55 - 85 B 85 - 140 C Table 1-4 gives general suggestions as to which weighting to use for different sound level ranges. When comparing different sound levels, such as in Table 1-5, it may be expedient to use the A -weighting for the entire range rather than to shift weighting in the midst of a series of measurements to be directly compared.
