Dataset

Documentation

Description:
Data indicating the level of noise according to the strategic noise mapping of road sources across England. Data can be divided into day levels, evening levels, and night levels. Noise levels are modelled on a 10m grid at a receptor height of 4m above ground, with a lower threshold cutoff of 35dB for the night and average metrics, and 40dB for all other metrics. Data is available for all road traffic sources and also those defined as "major" under the Regulations. Data can be downloaded in GeoTIFF format.
