This, in turn, can result in the company improving its contribution in respect of noise in the neighbourhood. This makes it possible, particularly through regular revision and continuation of the noise register, to identify potential main noise emitters and to minimise them, where applicable, through technical measures. In such cases, it is advisable to set up the most extensive noise register possible.

In respect of compliance with noise immission guide values laid down by law, it may be advantageous, especially for industrial enterprises that have a number of potential noise sources, to describe and record their own noise emissions as precisely as possible in both quantitative and qualitative terms. Depending on the objective, it can be both useful and a legal requirement to measure noise directly at its origin (noise emissions) or to seek to measure noise in the neighbourhood of an installation (noise immissions). The quantification of these noise emissions is gaining in importance in view of current discussions in respect of the potential danger to health posed by noise. At the very least, statements regarding installation noise or noise reports are required as part of licensing procedures under building legislation or immission control legislation.Д®missions from noise-intensive processes and activities are nowadays on the agenda in many industrial enterprises. Business growth or the advance of housing construction or nature conservation may result in far-reaching problems or even put the entire site at risk. Noise is an occupational safety issue and also a neighbourhood issue.
