Scotland puts ambient noise maps online to aid antisocial noise agenda
Scottish areas with high levels of ambient noise have been mapped and published online by the Scottish Government. At www.scottishnoisemapping.org, the strategic maps of Glasgow, Edinburgh and Scotland's main transport network and airports have been drawn up in accordance with the European Union's Environmental Noise Directive (END) which requires all Member States to do so by the end of this year for its major urban areas and transport centres.
The development of the strategic noise maps involved the sourcing, cleaning and collating huge amounts of transport data, which were then processed to produce individual transport source maps, and amalgamated maps of the two qualifying urban agglomerations.
