Reducing Noise for a Healthier Tomorrow
An interdisciplinary network of engineers, policy makers, industry stakeholders and social scientists, will take on one of the UK’s most overlooked environmental challenges: noise pollution
About Noise Network +
Environmental noise has a major impact on public health, society and wildlife, much of which is a result of engineering activities, such as roads, airports and construction.
Despite its pervasive effects, noise is currently a neglected pollutant, underscoring the urgent need for more research and better interdisciplinary coordination.
In response, this project sets out to re-engineer the discipline of engineering, making noise a consideration at all stages of the design process.
It will create a mission-oriented inter-organisational research and innovation network, ‘noise network plus’, as a catalyst to bring together diverse, dynamic teams from across disciplines.
It will build unprecedented noise research capabilities to deliver a healthier, quieter, society and environment.
