noise mapping

Noise mapping is a method used to visualize and assess noise levels in a specific area, such as a city or neighborhood. It involves collecting data on sound from various sources—like traffic, industry, and public events—and using this information to create detailed maps. These maps help identify areas where noise pollution is a concern, allowing city planners and policymakers to make informed decisions about urban development, zoning, and noise reduction strategies. The goal is to improve public health and quality of life by managing sound levels in the environment.
