ENVISA researches innovative technical and operational solutions to mitigate the annoyance related to transportation noise, and more specifically aviation noise. At the same time the company assesses noise impact in compliance with the latest European legislation on strategic noise mapping.

ENVISA expertise in the field includes:

• scenario development and impact analyses
• strategic noise mapping compliant with European Directive 2002/49/EC and its national transpositions
• trade-off analyses between noise and emissions
• model design and development
• model validation with monitoring

For details on our past and present noise assessment activities see the projects below:
