Noise and area analysis on the map
Overlay noise maps and click a parcel to see noise levels in dB, an assessment, distance to railway plus nearby points of interest and traffic counts.
The map brings noise and surroundings data together in one place, so you can quickly judge how noise-exposed a property is and what lies nearby. You can overlay noise maps on the map itself, and you can click a parcel to see noise levels in dB, the distance to the nearest railway and points of interest in the area. Follow the flow from noise layer to parcel analysis.
1Turn on the noise map
Open Map and click Layers to expand the layer panel. The noise layers sit under the Noise map section:
Road noise Railway noise Aircraft noise Industrial noise Combined noise Quiet areas
When a noise source is active, a colored noise map is drawn over the map on a scale from green (low) to red (high). You can choose Metric (Lden Lnight) and Measurement height (1.5m (DK) 4m (EU)).
Lden is the weighted 24-hour average (day-evening-night), while Lnight covers night only. Pick the metric that matches what you need to assess — for example night noise by bedrooms.
2Read the noise scale
When a noise layer is on, a legend shows the dB scale. The colors map to exposure:
The darker toward red, the higher the noise exposure. Note where a parcel falls on the scale before you dig into the numbers.
3Click a parcel for noise figures
Click a parcel on the map. The property panel opens in the side with a Noise section that shows the highest registered exposure and a short assessment:
The assessment ranges from Quiet and Background noise through Light noise and Moderate noise to Noisy and Very noisy. Below the overall figure, the noise is broken down by source — for example Road noise and Railway noise — so you can see what drives the exposure.
4Distance to railway
If the parcel sits near a track, a section appears with the track type as its heading — Railway, Light rail/Metro or Service track. The section shows:
- Distance to track in meters
- Railway noise in dB, if the parcel falls within a registered noise zone
If the parcel is outside a zone, it reads No noise zone registered — the track is close, but with no mapped noise exposure.
5Points of interest nearby
At the bottom of the property panel you'll find Nearby, which lists points of interest around the parcel as clickable chips with distance in meters. They are grouped by category:
The list also covers health, sport, restaurants, banks, post offices and culture when there is something nearby.
To see transport and stores directly on the map, turn on POI (transport) in the layer panel. Points for Train, S-train & Metro, Buses, Stores and Childcare then appear as markers.
6Traffic counts
To gauge traffic load along the roads, turn on Traffic counts in the map layers. Each counting station appears as a marker — click it to open a bubble with the figures:
Annual avg. daily traffic — average traffic per day across the year July avg. daily traffic — average traffic per day in July
Also use Traffic counts (by time) for stations with data split by time of day. The counts give a quick sense of how busy a road is — a useful complement to the noise figure itself.
