Noise regulations around the world
Noise impact assessment requirements
Noise control is a growing concern for owners and operators of production facilities and pipeline stations. Environmental and occupational regulations on city, state and federal levels often require a noise impact assessment for new facilities. Several high-profile lawsuits in the US indicate an increased public awareness and rising pressure on operators to assess the environmental impact of compressor station noise, especially near residential areas.
Below is a (non-exhaustive) list of noise regulations in different jurisdictions around the world.
