Abstract

The study summarizes 3 years’ experience in mapping and analysing environmental noise using smartphones. The authors used participatory noise mapping utilizing smartphone-based measurement data. The data were visualized on maps and the results were investigated. The maps confirm that data from participatory measurements can reveal environmental noise exposure. The findings could be used as a starting point for local governments to finance official noise measurements.
