Nighttime road traffic noise rating sound level (Dwelling Rating Point)

This dataset contains the rating sound level (Lr) of road traffic noise during the nighttime (22:00–06:00) at dwellings with residential or mixed-use occupancy for the year 2021.

The dwelling rating point (3D geometry) represents the dominant point on the dwelling. The dominant façade point is defined as the point on the dwelling that shows the highest treshhold value exceedance, based on the immission level, the noise sensitivity level (ES), and the type of land use.

The dwellings can be assigned to their respective floor, but their exact position (street-facing or away from the street) is unknown. Therefore, all dwellings on the same floor are assigned the same highest noise level. Exceptions are possible for dwellings that extend across multiple floors.

The data are based on the nationwide noise calculation model sonBASE 2021 of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). For road traffic, the calculations draw on traffic figures from the National Passenger Transport Model (NPTM 2021). The data are intended exclusively for statistical information at national and regional level and are not legally binding. Binding information on noise exposure and noise abatement is provided by the respective enforcement authorities: for national roads by the Federal Roads Office (FEDRO), for main and other roads by the cantonal enforcement authorities.
