The development of road and rail traffic, as well as sometimes poorly controlled urbanisation in the vicinity of land transport infrastructure has created situations of high exposure to noise. In order to prevent further nuisance, when constructing new buildings near existing lanes, sound insulation requirements, as defined by the Decree of 30 May 1996, must be complied with by the builders (workers, construction companies, etc.) of the buildings concerned (house, hotel, educational institution, health and care institution) under construction contracts.
