Environmental noise has the ability to greatly affect our quality of life; high noise levels can be very contentious at private dwellings or other noise-sensitive areas.
Environmental noise assessment is a complicated subject, with lots of grey areas and legislation that’s often open to interpretation and the application of different standards, guidelines and methodologies.
