Noise: Noise mapping

Noise exposure

The European Commission Working Group Assessment of Exposure to Noise (WG-AEN) has published a second position paper.

It replaces Version 1, published on 5 December 2003 (Ref.1) which was the subject of a pan European consultation process. Version 1 has been revised, modified and enhanced to take account of the feedback from the consultation process and recent developments, including the results of a research project sponsored by the United Kingdom Government (see section 1.6 for further details).

Readers of this Version 2 Position Paper should note that there are significant changes between this version and Version 1, for example in the way that the issue of assigning noise levels to buildings is dealt with, which is one of the most important alterations resulting from the consultation process.
