The sound of traffic and prays human activities is one of the most common environmental problems of our society. Noise affects the quality of our lives and our health, often without realizing it.
The problem of noise intensifies in cities. The town of Santa Coloma structure inherited from the uncontrolled development of the 60 and 70 and high population density and motorized vehicles, make this problem in our city one of the priority environmental concerns.
The main sources of noise comes from road traffic, commercial and industrial activities, restoration and local nightlife and construction.
To combat noise need to develop means to stabilise and control as the Order of Noise recently approved in Santa Coloma, meet and track the status of noise levels in the city by noise maps, develop awareness campaigns to raise awareness about the environmental impacts of noise and finally put measures to minimize impacts as anti-noise barriers and noise insulation or installing sonoreductores pavements, and above all, integrate the noise factor in urban management.
