Outdoor residential noise

Existing noise maps developed in 2012 for Rotterdam were used to assess the annual levels of outdoor noise exposure at each participant’s home address. Noise exposure levels for the Generation R Study consisted of data from residential road traffic, railway, aircraft, and industry.

For each noise exposure source, the day-evening-night noise indicator (LDEN) was calculated as the A-weighted average sound levels over the entire 24 h of a day with penalties for the evening (+5 decibel (dB)) and night (+10 dB). The LDAY, LEVENING and LNIGHT indicators were respectively the A-weighted average sound levels assessed during the day (12 h, 07:00–19:00), the evening (4 h, 19:00–23:00), and the night (8 h, 23:00–07:00). The levels of LDEN of each noise exposure source were applied to each geocoded participant’s address.
