The European Union Directive relating to the Assessment and Management of Environmental Noise (Directive 2002/49/EC) sets standards in relation to noise assessment and management, including noise mapping and abatement planning. The Directive essentially seeks to limit people's exposure to environmental noise (particularly traffic-related noise), in particular in built-up areas, public parks or other quiet areas, and in noise-sensitive buildings such as schools and hospitals.

Consequently, Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise (often referred to as the Environmental Noise Directive or the END) was drawn up and ultimately adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, on 25 June 2002. The Directive can be found at link 1 in Table 19.19.

The Environmental Noise Directive requires noise levels to be assessed in terms of Lden and Lnight [20]. Lden is the equivalent continuous noise level over a 24-h period, but with noise in the evening (from 7 pm to 11 pm) increased by 5 dB(A) and noise at night (from 11 pm to 7 am) increased by 10 dB(A), to reflect the greater noise-sensitivity of people at those times. Lnight is the equivalent continuous noise level over the night-time period (from 11 pm to 7 am). Lnight does not contain any night-time noise weighting.
