The EU Noise Policy and the Related Research Needs

article
The new EU noise policy and particularly the new Directive relating to the Assessment and Management of Environmental Noise has a significant influence on the research and development in the field of noise control. An important part of this R&D is generated by the need for harmonised noise mapping and for harmonised assessment of annoyance and sleep disturbance. Other R&D needs are related to a greater attention for noise control at the source and to a greater attention for the economic aspects of noise abatement. A special area of research concerns the protection of quiet areas in the open country.
