Substation Impact Tool: Noise

As your community grows, you may notice new high voltage power lines or substations being built. These projects help keep the electric grid strong and make sure you have the reliable energy you depend on every day.

Electric substations play a key role in delivering safe, reliable power to your home and community. Inside the substation, there is equipment that adjusts voltage, manages electricity flow, and helps protect the grid. Some of this equipment makes noise while it runs. Sometimes, you may be able to hear it outside the substation.

The Substation Impact Tool lets you:

• Learn what causes substation noise
• See how sound moves through a typical substation area
• Better understand what you might hear in real life situations
