Measuring noise levels seems the most direct way to obtain exposure, but this contribution shows that this is not always as trivial as it might look. A first important issue is the selection of a suitable spectro-temporal integrated indicator. Secondly, the choice between personal exposure monitoring and environmental monitoring needs to be considered. This contribution also compares noise measurement to calculating noise exposure levels and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of both angles of attack. Finally, the problem of relating the noise levels to the population is addressed. The latter boils down to finding out where people live based on limited geospatial information.
