In accordance with European legislation, the Environment Agency has updated the strategic noise maps for the fourth cycle of Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise. These maps refer to the year 2021 and indicate, with the help of a standardised colour scale using the Lden indicator, the exposure to ambient noise in decibels of the major airports per year located on the territory of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Noise map of the major airports of more than 50'000 movements per year. This map is representative for the year 2016 and is using the noise index LNGT. This noise map has been elaborated in the context of the DIRECTIVE 2002/49/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 25 June 2002 relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise, transposed into national law by the loi du 2 août 2006 modifiant la loi modifiée du 21 juin 1976 relative à la lutte contre le bruit and the règlement grand-ducal du 2 août 2006 portant application de la directive 2002/49/CE relative à l'évaluation et à la gestion du bruit dans l'environnement.

These maps refer to the year 2021 and indicate, with the help of a standardised colour scale using the Lngt indicator, the exposure to ambient noise in decibels of the major airports per year located on the territory of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

The Environment Agency has commissioned a specialized and approved external expert to carry out noise level measurements at 10 selected immission points. The purpose of the mission was to measure the sound pressure at a representative measurement point, in order to control the aircraft noise levels around the Findel. For the measurement and calculation methods, the external expert used the standards ISO 1996-1: 2016 and ISO 1996-2: 2017.
