How the score is computed

A simplified acoustic model applied to open data. Transparent and verifiable.

Airports

Runways of nearby airports count as long-range sources, with more weight for international airports.

Local sources

Railways, industrial zones, stadiums, bars and nightclubs add to the background noise of the area.
