Hoogeveen Airport, Sound Contour Lden 2021

Sound contours Lden (Level day-evening-night, a measure to express the noise from ambient noise). Under the Aviation Act, it is determined where the noise zones are located around domestic airports. The government has established the noise zones mainly in order to limit the noise pollution for residents of airports. In addition, the zones have a function from the point of view of spatial planning. Within the zones, for example, restrictions apply to new buildings and for the establishment of certain companies and existing noise-sensitive buildings (residentials, schools, etc.) are insulated if necessary.
