Abstract
During 1999–2001 the building research establishment (BRE) undertook
a measurement based survey of environmental noise levels and a social
survey of population attitudes to environmental noise in the UK.
The surveys involved a total of 1160 24-h noise measurements at a
sample of dwellings in the UK, and over 5500 in-depth interviews
with a sample of the UK adult population. Both samples were of a
clustered random design, and were representative of the UK population.
The results of the surveys have been compared with those from similar
surveys undertaken by BRE in 1990/1991 and are currently being used
to help formulate a more strategic approach to the control of environmental
noise both nationally and in London.
