Strategic noise map - 2011 - Major airports - Lden - contours

Description

Strategic noise map of major airports. The reference year of these dates is 2011. The noise map shows the annual average noise emission around the airports of Brussels Airport, Ostend-Bruges, Antwerp-Deurne and Kortrijk-Wevelgem. The noise level is expressed in the parameter Lden. The Lden level is a weighted annual average sound pressure level over the course of the day at which the evening and night levels are relatively heavier, which corresponds to the finding that noise pollution is usually perceived as more annoying in the evening and at night. European research therefore shows that a Lden is a relatively good predictor of the extent to which local residents may experience nuisance. The strategic noise maps with reference years 2006, 2011 and 2016 were calculated using an old calculation method. As of the strategic noise maps with reference year 2021, a new calculation method was used. This is a new common European calculation method that is mandatory for all Member States as of the mapping exercise with reference year 2021. Because this calculation method differs from that used in previous mapping rounds, it is not appropriate to compare the results of reference year 2021 with previous editions (2006, 2011 and 2016). It cannot be ruled out that differences in calculated exposure are solely due to the application of this new calculation method and do not result from increased or reduced exposure.
