Aircraft noise monitoring Hinterthurgau (Balterswil TG) from 2011

The present data set contains the results of the aircraft noise monitoring Hinterthurgau.The data were previously published individually per time interval and are now summarized in this data set.Because the canton of Thurgau is in the arrival and departure area of Zurich airport, the cantonal department of construction and environment has commissioned Sinus Engineering AG with this local aircraft noise monitoring. The measuring station is located next to a residential area in Balterswil (TG).

The daytime hours are evaluated from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. (day), the sensitive nighttime hours from 10 p.m. to 12 p.m. (1 p.m. Night hour and 2. Night hour) as well as the early morning from 5 to 6 o'clock (last night hour). The noise measurements support the authorities in the various procedures relating to the operation of Zurich Airport and serve as information for those affected by noise. The measurements are published monthly on https://dbu.tg.ch under Downloads and summarized in an annual report.Notes:Values for the day hours (6 am to 10 pm) and for the last night hour (5 am to 6 am) will only be published from November 2020. Missing readings can have several reasons. These are indicated in the Remark column. They are generally worded as follows: Invalid due to external noise, Invalid due to wind influence, Invalid due to technology Furthermore, it should be noted that values in the column leq_total noise can be strongly influenced by external noise or wind noise on this day and are therefore not taken into account in the monthly average value formation in the PDF reports. It is currently technically not possible to mark these values in the OGD data, so the reports at https://dbu.tg.ch/downloads-services/fluglaermmonitoring.html/1452 must be considered for verification.
