This Austroads report gives details on the noise levels and changes in frequencies generated by the operation of engine brakes. The report proposes development of a test for noise monitoring (stationary or moving vehicle) as an Australian Design Rule or an in-service regulation. Strategies are proposed to reduce both noise generated and the consequent effect on people.
