Merseyside Noise Study
In April 2003, the Merseyside Transport, Health and Environment Forum, on behalf of the five Merseyside Local Authorities and Merseytravel, commissioned one of the most wide-ranging and intensive investigations into environmental (or ambient) noise in any region of the UK. The main purpose of the Merseyside Ambient Noise Study was to address the lack of good quality information about environmental noise and its effects on people’s quality of life. Particular attention was paid to transport related noise.
The Merseyside Noise Study was completed in June 2004 and the results were presented to a conference held in Liverpool on the 22nd June 2004.
