Noise by road-, rail-, air traffic and activities by industry
In this map the noise disturbance of all relevant sources are cumulated. The map shows
that
noise nuisance is a typical urban environmental problem. Most of the disturbance by
noise can be found
in the Western part of the Netherlands. In this part most
of the population and economical
activities are concentrated. Noise within the cities is not included in this image, as is the
impact of low flying aircraft routes. By way of example, detailed maps for the city of Leiden and for Amsterdam are available. For the other cities in italics more coarse detail is available.
