COST OF NOISE

THE FINDINGS OF A BRITISH PROJECT ON THE ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF NOISE NUISANCE HAS BEEN PUBLISHED RECENTLY. THE PROJECT WAS BASED ON WORK CARRIED OUT FOR THE BRITISH AIRPORTS AUTHORITY. THE PRINCIPLES DESCRIBED APPLY VERY WIDELY AND SHOULD BE OF VALUE WHEN A LOCAL AUTHORITY IS FACED WITH ANY ISSUE INVOLVING THE IMPOSITION OF NOISE ON A RESIDENTIAL AREA. A TABLE IS GIVEN DESCRIBING THE SOCIAL COSTS OF NOISE TO HOME OWNER-OCCUPIERS. THE NOISE AND NUMBER INDEX CAN BE USED AS A MEASURE TO APPRAISE THE ANNOYANCE CAUSED BY NOISE FROM VARIOUS SOURCES - NOT ONLY AIRCRAFT. /AUTHOR/
