Rail/metro/tram noise

Calculated average noise from railways (including metro and tram) at 4 metres above ground level. The dataset shows the noise situation in urban areas from the 2022 mapping round and along railways outside urban areas from 2017. It covers railway lines with at least 30,000 train passages per year outside urban areas. Within urban areas, less busy lines are also covered. The figures are calculations, not measurements. Distributed by Miljødirektoratet. The strategic noise maps are not updated, but they are collected every five years. See Miljødirektoratet: Strategic noise maps.

For a developer near a railway or metro line, the same rules and principles apply as for road noise: buildings in the amber or red noise zone under T-1442 require mitigating measures in the reguleringsplan (zoning plan). Part of Placepoint's map layer for noise. Related: Road noise, Noise mapping (T-1442).

Update frequency: when the source changes.
