Noise industry den 2016

Strategic noise map for the city of Antwerp concerning industry according to RL 2002/49/EC. The reference year of these dates is 201 6 . The sound card indicates how much noise the environment is exposed to. The Lden level is a weighted annual average sound pressure level over the course of the day at which the evening and night levels are relatively heavier, which corresponds to the finding that noise pollution is generally perceived as more annoying in the evening and at night. European research therefore shows that a Lden is a relatively good predictor of the extent to which local residents may experience nuisance. These noise maps are updated every 5 years.
