Noise is produced by industry and commerce, by leisure time activities and by traffic. However, the most important source of noise is road traffic. Noise mitigation concepts therefore should aim at reducing road traffic-noise pollution with very high priority. The upcoming publication of the EU guidelines on noise abatement planning means that this environment-oriented set of planning instruments will be given a much higher status in most member states than until now. In addition to technical aspects, questions will also be asked regarding the costs not only of the setting up of noise abatement planning but also of their implementation in particular. The cost of the implementation of the action plan on noise abatement planning must be seen in conjunction with the measures to be taken and these must be seen in the context of urban planning policies. Additional cost need not necessarily arise in every case. Roughly it can be said: the more urban development is keyed to sustained development (e.g. framework of an LA-21-process), the more efficient (in economical respect) the implementation of noise abatement planning will be. Noise abatement measures and the costs associated with them will always be a part of a coordinated plan for sustainable urban development.
