2. Definition of Environmental Noise
The definition of environmental noise is defined as unwanted or harmful outdoor sound created by human activities, including noise omitted by means of transport, road traffic, rail, air traffic, and noise from sites of industrial activity. The 2006 Regulations do not apply to a noise caused by the person exposed to the noise, noise from domestic activities, noise created by neighbours, noise at workplaces, or noise inside means of transport or due to military activities in military areas. These are dealt with through separate pieces of legislation.
