The number of people exposed to the different noise levels from each source within the agglomeration has been estimated. Population exposure for noise sources mapped per the Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/EC (END) are shown below:
| Noise source / Noise level | Lden > = 55 (dB) | Lden > = 65 (dB) | Lden > = 75 (dB) | Lnight > = 50 (dB) | Lnight > = 60 (dB) | Lnight > = 70 (dB) |
