noise compatibility

Noise compatibility refers to how well a specific environment or area can handle noise without causing significant disturbance to people or wildlife. It measures whether sounds from nearby activities, like traffic or construction, exceed acceptable levels that could lead to negative effects on health, well-being, or daily life. In urban planning and community development, ensuring noise compatibility helps create spaces where noise levels are managed effectively, promoting a better quality of life for residents and minimizing disruptions to natural habitats.
