Education Professional Positions Honors and Professional Societies Professional Responsibilities Consulting Experience References Sponsored Technical Reports and Papers DAVID E. COATE EDUCATION M.S., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980; B.A., Mathematics - Westminster College, 1978; B.A., Chemistry - Westminster College, 1978; B.A., Physics - Westminster College, 1978 [return to top] PROFESSIONAL POSITIONS Principal, DCC, 2001 to present Director, Acentech Incorporated, 1989-2001 Bolt Beranek and Newman, 1986-1989 [return to top] HONORS AND PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES Acoustical Society of America Institute of Noise Control Engineering National Academy of Sciences Transportation Research Board Subcommittee on Transportation Noise and Vibration Who's Who in the World Who's Who in Science and Engineering [return to top] PROFESSIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES Mr. Coate consults in a broad range of acoustics and noise and vibration control. His experience includes noise and vibration data collection, analysis, and computer modeling for noise predictions, noise mitigation measures; preparation of noise reports for environmental impact statements; and presentations during hearings and public meetings. He has extensive computer experience including a proficiency in several programming languages. Mr. Coate has consulted on a variety of different projects. Although much of his work is in the area of environmental noise and architectural acoustics, he has consulted in such diverse areas as underwater acoustics, helicopter noise, sound system design, acoustic detection for the U.S. Army, and vibration control for high technology applications. [return to top] CONSULTING EXPERIENCE Architectural/Building Acoustics Experience includes measurement/modeling of sound isolation between building floor/ceilings and walls. Experience also includes measurement/modeling of reverberation in auditoriums, conference rooms, rehearsal spaces, and recording studios. Has developed high transmission loss floating slab floors for critical sound isolation projects. Project experience includes building acoustics treatment recommendations for retail stores such as Urban Outfitters at locations throughout the U.S. and Canada, as well as restaurants such as Unos. Recording studio design work including Q Division (Somerville, MA), MIT, University of Hartford, and other studio and performance spaces. Classroom acoustics projects include Medfield Elementary, Medfield Wheelock (Mass.), North Smithfield High and Elementary Schools (Rhode Island), Mashpee Elementary (Cape Cod, Mass), South Plymouth Elementary (Mass.), Braintree Elementary (Mass.), and Chatham (Cape Cod, Mass.) Elementary Schools. Many of these projects were focused on the introduction of hearing impaired children into the classroom and employed the ANSI S12.60-2002 Acoustical Standard. Cinema design includes Scituate Harbor Playhouse (Scituate, Mass.), Patriot Cinema (Hanover, Mass.), and multi-cinemas with retail shops above, in Puerto Rico. Highway Noise Extensive highway noise analysis experience ranging from preparation of environmental impact statements, highway noise measurements, highway noise predictions, and noise barrier design and optimization using FHWA highway noise models. Participated in the Transportation Systems Center full-scale parallel noise barrier model evaluation study. The goal of this study was to quantify and generalize the acoustic performance degradation effects that sometimes occur in parallel noise barrier configurations. Rail Noise Experience includes measurement and prediction of rail noise and vibration, mitigation design, cost-benefit analysis, and preparation of technical reports. Noise and vibration mitigation experience includes design of noise barriers, and the evaluation of residential sound insulation, wheel truing/rail grinding, and ballast mats. Projects range from commuter and transit rail to high speed/Maglev rail studies. Contributing author for the TCRP-C3 transit cooperative research program wheel/rail noise study, which included the development of a wheel/rail noise expert system computer program. Aircraft Noise Developed sonic boom noise model for Federal Aviation Administration/AST to evaluate potential noise impacts of commercial space vehicle launches. Currently developing the Launch Noise Model (LNM) for FAA/AST. Experience includes the use of the FAA Integrated Noise Model (INM), the Helicopter Noise Model (HNM), and the USAF's NOISEMAP for the prediction of aircraft noise in the vicinity of airports, noise measurements, impact assessment, and preparation of noise contour maps. Projects range from AICUZ and base closure studies, the use of GIS to determine population impacts, aircraft noise audibility in national parks, to a blade/vortex interaction study for NASA. Project manager for numerous airport residential sound insulation projects. Amphitheater Sound Impact Analysis Amphitheater/community sound analysis experience includes the measurement and prediction of sound levels, evaluations of the intrusiveness of sound based on comparisons of the background ambient noise level with project noise levels, and cost-benefit analysis of mitigation options. Geographic Information Systems Familiar with Environmental Systems Research Institute GIS software. Applied GIS technology to evaluate noise impacts in the vicinity of airports, highways, and other outdoor noise sources that affect large geographic areas. This process involves the development of noise contours, and overlaying the noise contours on a digital basemap/database. This procedure has been used to identify specific properties around airports that qualify for residential sound insulation funding. This method of analysis has proven to be more accurate and cost-effective than using conventional paper-based analyses. Responsible for the management and development of a GIS encompassing the eastern half of the United States for the Conrail Acquisition Project. Mechanical Systems Has diagnosed and mitigated sources of noise and vibration in mechanical systems such as HVAC systems, pumps, compressors, and cooling towers. Experience includes the vibration isolation of high pressure refrigerant piping/pumps. Two notable projects include quantifying structure-borne versus airborne noise contributions caused by large pumping systems within the Nashville Energy Plant, and recommending low-noise fans for two large cooling towers at UPMC Hospital in Pittsburgh. Expert Witness Has served the court as a noise expert in a number of cases involving helicopter noise, blasting noise, highway noise, race track noise, amphitheater sound impacts, and noise-related land-use compatibility issues with airports.
