European Union Noise Directive

The European Union Noise Directive sets rules to manage and reduce noise pollution from sources like vehicles, industry, and construction. Its goal is to protect public health and the environment by ensuring noise levels are kept within safe limits. It requires member countries to measure, monitor, and report noise exposure, implement noise reduction measures, and communicate with the public about noise issues. Essentially, the directive helps create quieter, healthier communities by guiding authorities to control noise sources and inform people about noise-related risks.
