Resolving community noise problems demands not just accurate data about noise impacts but also requires an effective means of communicating this information to decision makers. The Interactive Sound Information System (ISIS) is a “new media” package designed to explain and de-mystify the complex metrics used to describe noise impacts. Central to the ISIS package is the idea that “real” noise examples, shaped to reflect local situations, are the very best way to build an understanding of noise management issues. The system has been used effectively by governmental agencies and noise management specialists as a means of delivering information that is both understandable and technically accurate. The United States Air Force in association with the FAA has supported development of an expanded version of the program that incorporates state-of-the-art multi-media technology. The new version of the program is designed for a wide audience and its operation does not demand technical expertise. It uses the 3D viewing capabilities of the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML). The updated software is built on the Java platform, giving the package both modularity and Internet capabilities. The program links to airport and highway noise prediction models.
