Federal Noise Policy

The Federal Noise Policy is a set of guidelines used by which government agencies, like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, aim to manage and reduce noise pollution that can harm public health and the environment. It helps establish acceptable noise levels for different settings, ensures noise is minimized near communities, and balances economic activities with health considerations. The policy encourages the development of noise control programs and promotes the use of technology and planning to keep noise at safe, tolerable levels for people and ecosystems.
