Additional information

Due to gaps in the reported data, a gap-filling routine is used to estimate exposure of the total population to high noise levels.The classification of values in map legends is quantiles (five equal-sized classes).
The source of information is based on the more recent country submissions and redeliveries under the END that were received by EEA by the end of March 2017 for the second round of noise mapping (2011) and subsequently processed and quality checked.
