Noise

Noise is a physical phenomenon of moving air that causes undesired sound.

Noise is an environmental nuisance that causes mental stress, and in high levels even causes harm to human health. Although noise is only a local phenomenon it can sometimes have an impact on a large group of people, such as residents living near airports or main roads.

Today, technical progress makes the protection from noise easier: modern silent motors, and innovative ways of construction that reduces the exposure to noise from the surroundings. Also the fact that the temperature in the houses is regulated and therefore houses have to be isolated contributes to the protection from noise although it is not made for acoustic reasons. The legislation that is applicable to noise consists of many guidelines, partly national and partly local. We can consult you about the restrictions that are applicable in the area where you operate and about the legal ways to avoid their violation while assessing all of the three relevant factors: the source of the noise, location of the buildings and the harm caused to the aggrieved party.
