ISO 1996 (Assessment of Noise)

ISO 1996 is an international standard that provides guidelines for measuring and assessing environmental noise, such as traffic, industry, or urban sounds. It outlines methods to accurately evaluate noise levels, determine their impact on communities, and identify appropriate control measures. The standard ensures consistent and reliable noise assessments across different locations and projects, helping policymakers, engineers, and environmental planners make informed decisions to minimize noise pollution and protect public health and well-being.
