Noise Maps
A strategic noise map is a graphical representation of the predicted situation with regards to noise in a particular area and from particular noise sources, with different colours representing different noise levels in decibels [dB(A)]. The strategic noise maps are generated using noise modelling, which are the product of assimilating a collection of digital datasets. Strategic noise maps have been prepared for Round 4 (2022), representing the annual average situation during 2021.
Further information on noise maps can be found on the EPA website. EPA Noise Mapping and Action Plans
Noise mapping for the entire island of Ireland can also be found on the EPA website. In the top menu, select Map, go to 'Environment and Wellbeing' and select 'Noise'.
