Jet Skis - The Horror
Drowning In Noise, Komanoff's landmark year-2000 report on the noise costs of jet skis, co-authored with mathematician Howard Shaw, is now Web-available in its original as-printed form, complete with beautifully rendered tables and diagrams. The complete 80-page report (pdf) can be read on many levels: as an indictment of the environmental disturbances from these "thrill-craft," a primer on noise generation and abatement, and a case-study of environmental costing.
