1 Introduction and Summary
HGC Engineering was retained by 3420 Hurontario Street Inc. & BET Realty Ltd. to conduct a noise
feasibility study for a proposed residential development located at 3420 and 3442 Hurontario Street
in Mississauga, Ontario. The residential development will consist of two residential towers (one 30-
storeys and one 36-storeys). The study is required by the City of Mississauga as part of the planning
and approvals process.
The primary sources of noise are road traffic on Hurontario Street, Central Parkway West, and
Fairview Road West. Road traffic data was obtained from the City of Mississauga and were used to
predict future traffic sound levels at the proposed building façades and in large outdoor living areas.
The predicted sound levels were compared to the guidelines of the City of Mississauga and the
Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) to develop noise control
recommendations.
The results of the study indicate that the proposed mixed-use development is feasible with the noise
control measures described in this report. The predicted future daytime and nighttime sound levels at
the proposed buildings will exceed MECP guideline sound levels. Central air conditioning is
required for all dwelling units, and upgraded glazing construction will also be required for all
building facades with exposure to Hurontario Street. Acoustic barrier/parapet walls are required for
the outdoor amenity areas located on the roof of the podium. Noise warning clauses are required for
all dwelling units to inform future occupants of the traffic noise impact, to address sound level
excesses, and proximity to commercial uses.
There is a proposed future Light Rail transit (LRT) system along the centre of Hurontario Street.
Information regarding the Hurontario-Main LRT line was obtained from the Noise and Vibration
Impact Assessment Report prepared for SNC-Lavalin Inc. in support of the Transit Project
Assessment Project (TRAP) by J.E. Coulter Associates Ltd. The report states that the LRT line will
run along the Hurontario Street corridor, beginning at the Port Credit GO Station and ending at the
Brampton GO Transit Station. The findings of the report prepared by J.E. Coulter Associates Limited
for the future Hurontario-Main Street LRT indicate that there will be no noticeable change in the
sound levels along most parts of the corridor and that the contribution of the LRT in relation to the
Noise Feasibility Study, Proposed Mixed Use Development Page 2 3420 & 3442 Hurontario St, Mississauga, ON November 17, 2020
overall sound level from road traffic is negligible. In addition, predicted ground borne vibration
levels at the site area will be within the applicable limits, and vibration-induced noise from the LRT
will be lower than the predicted sound levels due to road traffic. Supporting documents from the
report are attached in Appendix C.
2 Site Description and Noise Sources
Figure 1 is a key plan indicating the location of the proposed site. The site is located at the west side
of Hurontario Street in Mississauga, Ontario. Figure 2 shows the site plan by Kikor Architects dated
November 13, 2020. The proposed development will consist of two residential towers, Building A
with 36-storeys and Building B with 30-storeys, with a shared podium used for parking and office
spaces, and a tower link connecting the two towers with residential units.
HGC Engineering personnel visited the site on August 7, 2020 to make observations of the acoustical
environment. During the site visit, it was noted that the primary source of noise impacting the site
was road traffic on Hurontario Street. A secondary source of traffic noise is Central Parkway West.
The site is currently occupied by a multi storey medical building housing various medical offices,
which will be demolished for the construction of the proposed mixed-use buildings. The area around
the site is flat and mostly residential. Existing high-rise multi-family dwelling buildings surround the
site in all directions. A gas station (Esso) with a Tim Horton’s drive-through exists across Hurontario
Street. Although sound emission from the gas station and drive-through were not found to be audible
at the site area, it is recommended that a noise warning clause to identify that such commercial uses
in the area may be audible at times be included in the property and tenancy agreements.
3 Noise Level Criteria
3.1 Road Traffic Noise
Guidelines for acceptable levels of road traffic noise impacting residential developments are given in
the MECP publication NPC-300, “Environmental Noise Guideline Stationary and Transportation
Sources – Approval and Planning”, release date October 21, 2013, and are listed in Table I below.
The values in Table I are energy equivalent (average) sound levels [LEQ] in units of A-weighted
decibels [dBA].

Road
Nighttime LEQ(8 hour)
Road
Outdoor Living Area 55 dBA --
Inside Living/Dining Rooms 45 dBA 45 dBA
Inside Bedrooms 45 dBA 40 dBA
Daytime refers to the period between 07:00 and 23:00. Nighttime refers to the time period between
23:00 and 07:00. The term “Outdoor Living Area” (OLA) is used in reference to an outdoor patio, a
backyard, a terrace, or other area where passive recreation is expected to occur. Small balconies are
not considered OLAs for the purposes of assessment. Terraces greater than 4 m in depth (measured
perpendicular to the building façade) are considered to be OLAs.
The guidelines in the MECP publication allow the daytime sound levels in an Outdoor Living Area
to be exceeded by up to 5 dBA, without mitigation, if warning clauses are placed in the purchase and
rental agreements to the property. Where OLA sound levels exceed 60 dBA, physical mitigation is
required to reduce the OLA sound level to below 60 dBA and as close to 55 dBA as technically,
economically, and administratively practical.
A central air conditioning system is required for dwellings where nighttime sound levels outside
bedroom or living/dining room windows exceed 60 dBA or greater for the Region of Peel, or
daytime sound levels outside bedroom or living/dining room windows exceed 65 dBA. Forced-air
ventilation with ducts sized to accommodate the future installation of air conditioning is required
when nighttime sound levels at bedroom or living/dining room windows are in the range of 51 to 60
dBA or when daytime sound levels at bedroom or living/dining room windows are in the range of 56
to 65 dBA.
Building components such as walls, windows and doors must be designed to achieve indoor sound
level criteria when the plane of window nighttime sound level is greater than 60 dBA or the daytime
sound level is greater than 65 dBA due to road traffic noise.
Noise Feasibility Study, Proposed Mixed Use Development Page 4 3420 & 3442 Hurontario St, Mississauga, ON November 17, 2020
Warning clauses to notify future residents of possible noise excesses are also required when
nighttime sound levels exceed 50 dBA at the plane of a bedroom/living/dining room window and
when daytime sound levels exceed 55 dBA at the plane of a bedroom/living/dining room window
due to road traffic.
4 Traffic Sound Level Assessment
4.1 Road Traffic Data
Traffic data for Hurontario Street, Central Parkway West, and Fairview Road West was obtained
from the Region of Peel in the form of ultimate Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) traffic
values, and is provided in Appendix A.
For Hurontario Street, an ultimate volume of 40 700 vehicles per day at an operating speed limit of
60 km/h was applied for the analysis. A commercial vehicle percentage of 2.75 % for medium trucks
and 2. 25 % for heavy trucks was applied. A day/night split of 90 % / 10 % was used.
For Central Parkway West, an ultimate volume of 17 700 vehicles per day at an operating speed limit
of 50 km/h was applied for the analysis. A commercial vehicle percentage of 2.2 % for medium
trucks and 1.8 % for heavy trucks was applied. A day/night split of 90 % / 10 % was used.
For Fairview Road West, an ultimate volume of 5 000 vehicles per day at an operating speed limit of
40 km/h was applied for the analysis. A commercial vehicle percentage of 1.1 % % for medium
trucks and 0.9 % for heavy trucks was applied. A day/night split of 90 % / 10 % was used.
Table II summarizes the traffic volume data used in this study.

4.2 Road Traffic Noise Predictions
To assess the levels of road traffic noise which will impact the study area in the future, sound level
predictions were made using STAMSON version 5.04, a computer algorithm developed by the
MECP. Sample STAMSON output is included in Appendix B.
Predictions of the traffic sound levels were chosen around the proposed residential buildings to
obtain an appropriate representation of future sound levels at various façades. Sound levels were
predicted at the plane of the top storey bedroom and/or living/dining room windows during daytime
and nighttime hours to investigate ventilation and façade construction requirements. Sound levels
were also predicted in possible OLA’s to investigate the need for noise barriers. Figure 2 shows the
site plan of the site with prediction locations. The results of these predictions are summarized in
Table III.

5 Discussions and Recommendations
Sound level predictions indicate that the future traffic sound levels will exceed MECP guidelines at
the proposed development. The following discussion outlines the recommendations for acoustic
barrier requirements, ventilation requirements, upgraded building façade construction, and warning
clauses to achieve the noise criteria stated in Table I.
5.1 Outdoor Living Areas
Predicted sound levels at the west outdoor amenity area on the 5th floor with a minimum 1.07 m high
solid parapet, designated by prediction location [I], will be within the MECP’s limit of 55 dBA. The
predicted daytime sound levels at the east outdoor amenity area on the 5th floor with a minimum
1.07 m high solid parapet, designated by prediction location [J], will be up to 57 dBA, which is in
excess of the MECP’s limit of 55 dBA. While the sound level is still within the MECP’s allowable
exceedance range of 5 dBA from the 55 dBA limit, physical mitigation in the form of an acoustic
barrier is recommended to address these excesses. The various barrier heights required to achieve
MECP’s OLA requirements are provided in Table IV.

Barrier
Height [m] [J] 2.0 1.5 1.07 -- -- --
The MECP’s limit and the Region of Peel’s limit for daytime sound levels in the outdoor living areas
(OLAs) is 55 dBA. If higher sound levels are to be achieved in the OLA’s, it is the proponent’s
responsibility to delegate Council to seek relief from the 55 dBA requirement for the amenity areas.
An acoustic barrier height of 2.0 m, in the form of a solid parapet wall, is recommended for east
outdoor amenity area adjacent to Hurontario Street, designated by prediction location [J], to reduce
the sound level to 55 dBA. Figure 3 shows the location of the required barriers. A solid parapet with
a minimum 1.07 m height will be sufficient for the west outdoor amenity area since it is shielded
from traffic on Hurontario Street by the proposed buildings and podium. Future analysis is required
when grading information is available, and the acoustic barrier heights should be refined.
The wall component of the barrier should be of a solid construction with a surface density of no less
than 20 kg/m2. The walls may be constructed from a variety of materials such as wood, brick, steel,
glass, or other concrete/wood composite systems provided that it is free of gaps or cracks within or
below its extent.
5.2 Indoor Living Areas and Ventilation Requirements
Air Conditioning
The predicted future sound levels outside the top storey windows of the facades with exposure to
Hurontario Street will be greater than 60 dBA during nighttime hours and/or 65 dBA during daytime
hours. To address these excesses, both buildings, Building A and Building B, will require central air
conditioning systems so that windows may be kept closed. It is likely that the building or individual
suites will include air conditioning. In general, window or through-the-wall air conditioning units are
not recommended because of the noise they produce and because the units penetrate through the
exterior wall which degrades the overall sound insulating properties of the envelope. Acceptable
units are those that are housed in their own closet with an access door for maintenance. The location,
Noise Feasibility Study, Proposed Mixed Use Development Page 8 3420 & 3442 Hurontario St, Mississauga, ON November 17, 2020
installation and sound ratings of the outdoor air conditioning devices should minimize noise impacts
and comply with criteria of MECP publication NPC-300, as applicable.
5.3 Building Façade Constructions
The predicted sound levels at the facades with exposure to Hurontario Street will exceed 65 dBA
during daytime and/or 60 dBA during nighttime. MECP guidelines stipulate that in such cases,
building components including windows, walls, and doors be designed so that the indoor sound
levels comply with the noise criteria in Table I.
Calculations were performed to determine the acoustical insulation factors to maintain indoor sound
levels within MECP guidelines. The calculation methods were developed by the National Research
Council (NRC). They are based on the predicted future sound levels at the building facades, and the
anticipated area ratios of the facade components (walls, windows and doors) and the floor area of the
adjacent room.
Exterior Doors
There may be glazed exterior doors (sliding or swing) for entry onto the balconies from living/dining
rooms and some bedrooms. The glazing areas of the doors should be counted as part of the total
window glazing area. All exterior doors should include good weather seals to reduce air infiltration
to the minimum achievable levels.
Acoustical Requirements for Glazing
A summary of the STC requirements is given in Table V for the building façades, based on the
possibility of sound entering the building through walls, windows and doors for all of the dwellings.
Detailed floor plans and building elevations were not available for review at the time of this report. A
window to floor ratio of 50% (40% fixed, 10% operable) for living/dining room and 40% (30%
fixed, 10% operable) for bedrooms were assumed to determine preliminary window STC ratings
required to mitigate road traffic noise levels.

+ Sound entering through windows and walls
* While facades with flanking exposure to Hurontario Street are somewhat less impacted, we do not typically recommend
less than STC-33 in urban environment such as this.
The glazing requirements can be met using fairly standard sealed units. Operable sections, including
doors and operable windows, must be well-fitted and weather-stripped in order to achieve the upper
range of target STC values.
Alternative assemblies may be required for operable windows and doors to achieve the required
performance values, depending on the nature of seals.
Further Analysis
When detailed floor plans and building elevations are available for the dwelling units, window
glazing construction should be refined based on actual window to floor area ratios.
Noise Feasibility Study, Proposed Mixed Use Development Page 10 3420 & 3442 Hurontario St, Mississauga, ON November 17, 2020
6 Warning Clauses
The MECP guidelines recommend that warning clauses be included in the property and tenancy
agreements and offers of purchase and sale for all dwelling units with anticipated traffic sound level
excesses. The following noise warning clauses are required for specific dwellings as indicated in
Table VI.
Suggested wording for future dwellings with sound levels exceeding the MECP guideline limit is
given below.
Type A:
Purchasers/tenants are advised that despite the inclusion of noise control features in the
development and within the building units, sound levels due to increasing road traffic may
occasionally interfere with some activities of the dwelling occupants as the sound levels
exceed the Municipality’s and the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks noise
criteria.
Suggest wording for future dwellings which will have central air conditioning units to be installed is
given below.
Type B:
This dwelling unit has been supplied with a central air conditioning system which will allow
windows and exterior doors to remain closed, thereby ensuring that the indoor sound levels
are within the sound level limits of the Municipality and the Ministry of the Environment,
Conservation and Parks.
Suggested wording for future dwelling units in close proximity to commercial buildings is given
below.
Type C:
Purchasers are advised that due to the proximity of the existing commercial buildings,
sound levels from the facilities may be at times be audible.
These sample clauses are provided by the MECP as examples, and can be modified by the
Municipality as required.
Noise Feasibility Study, Proposed Mixed Use Development Page 11 3420 & 3442 Hurontario St, Mississauga, ON November 17, 2020
7 Impact of the Development on Itself
Section 5.9.1 of the Ontario Building Code (OBC) specifies the minimum required sound insulation
characteristics for demising partitions, in terms of Sound Transmission Class (STC) values. In order
to maintain adequate acoustical privacy between separate suites in a multi-tenant building, inter-suite
walls must meet or exceed STC-50. Walls separating a suite from a noisy space such as a refuse
chute, or elevator shaft, must meet or exceed STC-55. In addition, it is recommended that the
floor/ceiling constructions separating suites from any amenity or commercial spaces also meet or
exceed STC-55. Tables 1 and 2 in Section SB-3 of the Supplementary Guideline to the OBC provide
a comprehensive list of constructions that will meet the above requirements.
Tarion’s Builder Bulletin B19R requires the internal design of condominium projects to integrate
suitable acoustic features to insulate the suites from noise from each other and amenities in
accordance with the OBC, and limit the potential intrusions of mechanical and electrical services of
the buildings on its residents. If B19R certification is needed, an acoustical consultant is required to
review the mechanical and electrical drawings and details of demising constructions and
mechanical/electrical equipment, when available, to help ensure that the noise impact of the
development on itself is maintained within acceptable levels.
8 Impact of the Development on the Environment
Sound levels from stationary (non-traffic) sources of noise such as rooftop air-conditioners, cooling
towers, exhaust fans, etc. should not exceed the minimum one-hour LEQ ambient (background) sound
level from road traffic, at any potentially impacted residential point of reception, to avoid
complaints. Based on the levels observed during our site visit, the typical minimum ambient sound
levels in the area are expected to be 55 dBA or more during the day and 50 dBA or more at night.
Thus, any electro-mechanical equipment associated with this development (e.g. emergency generator
testing, fresh-air handling equipment, etc.) should be designed with these targets in mind such that
they do not result in noise impact beyond these ranges.

9 Summary and Recommendations
The following list and Table VI summarize the recommendations made in this report. The reader is
referred to previous sections of the report where these recommendations are discussed in more detail.
1. Acoustic barriers/parapet walls are recommended for west and east podium outdoor amenity
areas as detailed in Section 5.1.
2. Central air conditioning will be required for all dwelling units.
3. Upgraded glazing constructions are required for the facades with exposure to Hurontario
Street, as shown in Figure 3 and Section 5.3. When detailed floor plans and building
elevations are available for the dwelling units with exposure to the roadways, window glazing
construction should be refined on actual window to floor ratios.
4. The use of warning clauses in the property and tenancy agreements is recommended to
inform future residents of traffic noise issues.

Hi Bertuen,
HGC Engineering is conducting a noise feasibility study located at 3420 Hurontario Street. A google maps link is provided for your reference.
https://goo.gl/maps/kRkHgNdnRGFRCPhw8
We are looking for ultimate road traffic data for Hurontario Street, Central Parkway, and Fairview Road.
We do have previous traffic data for Hurontario Street and Central Parkway from January 2020 (see attached) that we could use for the study, provided that if you can confirm they are still good to use.
Thank you.

As can be seen from Table 12, any sensitive receptors located at least:
10m from the centreline of the nearest track wherever the LRT travels at 40km/h
15m from the centreline of the nearest track wherever the LRT travels at 50km/h
20m from the centreline of the nearest track wherever the LRT travels at 60km/h
25m from the centreline of the nearest track wherever the LRT travels at 80km/h will meet the guideline limit of 0.10mm/s without any additional vibration control measures. An additional 5 dB reduction (44% reduction) will be required for areas with residential receptors located closer than the minimum setbacks described above, in order to reduce the vibration levels to 0.10mm/s rms. For concrete embedded track, however, vibration control to limit vibration-induced noise is more critical and will supersede the requirements for ground-borne vibration mitigation. 5.4.2 Vibration-Induced Sound For light rail on a concrete track bed, vibration-induced sound tends to be more of an issue than perceptible vibration, especially at close setbacks. At greater setbacks, vibration-induced sound becomes less critical, as the damping characteristics of clayey or till soils reduce the vibration levels in the octave bands to which human hearing is sensitive. At setbacks of 20m or more from the nearest track, perceptible (ground-borne) vibration is more critical than vibration-induced noise. The following analysis for vibration-induced noise is based on setbacks of 20m or less, which occur primarily wherever the LRT is operating at 50km/h. Based on the measurements taken from Table 8, the sound levels in various rooms within residences adjacent to the proposed LRT route can be determined. Table 10, below, summarizes the sound levels that can be expected in various rooms as a result of vibration-induced noise. It has generally been assumed that there is usually one room with window exposure to the LRT route, with a second bedroom room set back within the building that does not have any window exposure to the LRT route. As per the FTA guidelines, the recommended objective for vibration-induced noise in the otherwise quiet bedroom (i.e., back room) is 35 dBA. This relationship is explained in Figures 21 and 22 in Appendix A. Table 13, 14, 15, and 16 present the vibration-induced sound levels that can be expected under various circumstances, wherever the LRT is operating at 40km/h, 50km/h, 60km/h, and 80km/h, respectively The distances listed are based on the most common setbacks between the track centreline and sensitive receptors along the LRT corridor. The airborne sound level is the sound level that can be expected in the first room with window exposure facing the LRT, where the airborne noise always dominates the vibration-induced noise. As evidenced by measured
