238 Mayor of London The Mayor’s Ambient Noise Strategy Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution The Commission’s Eighteenth Report: Transport and the Environment, RCEP, 26 October 1994, included the following objectives: H: To reduce noise nuisance from transport. H1: To reduce daytime exposure to road and rail noise to not more than 65 dB L Aeq16 hour at the external walls of housing. H2: To reduce night-time exposure to road and rail noise to not more than 59 dB L Aeq 8 hour at the external walls of housing. European Commission’s 5th action programme on the environment The European Commission’s 5th action programme on the environment proposed, for night noise exposure at home: ■ To phase out exposure above 65 dB L Aeq ; ■ To ensure that at no point in time a level of 85 dB L Aeq is exceeded; ■ To aim to ensure that the proportions of the population exposed to average levels between 55 and 65 dB L Aeq should not increase; and ■ That exposure in quiet areas should not increase beyond 55 dB L Aeq . UK Government consultation ‘Towards a National Ambient Noise Strategy’, November 2001, reported survey results suggesting that the level of 85dB(A) was not exceeeded in England and Wales and that fewer than 1% of the population exposed to noise levels of greater than 65dB(A) at night. London-wide representative figures are not available. OECD - Fighting Noise (1986) The OECD identified the following ‘thresholds for noise nuisance’ in terms of day-time L Aeq : ■ ■ ■ At 55-60 dB(A), noise creates annoyance; At 60-65 dB(A), annoyance increases considerably; and Above 65 dB(A), constrained behaviour patterns, symptomatic of serious damage caused by noise arise.
