The European Directive on Strategic Noise Maps requires as a minimum the representation of the overall noise indicators Lden and Ln, for each source. These indicators correspond to the incident noise on the facades. The indicators represented are expressed in dB(A) and reflect a notion of overall discomfort or health risk. The data in this data set are related to the Lden indicator. “Lden" is an indicator of the overall noise level during a day (day, evening and night) used to qualify the discomfort associated with exposure to noise. It is calculated from the indicators "Lday", "Levening", "Lnight", "average noise levels over the periods 6h-18h, 18h-22h and 22h-6h. These are more precisely the isophone curves drawn in steps of 5 dB(A) from 55 dB(A) over a whole day. The data here concerns the Avenue de Paris and the Boulevard de l’Europe in Niort.
