Hello everyone,
my girlfriend and I have been looking for a plot of land for our own home for quite a while. Unfortunately, a new development area that meets our criteria regarding central location, affordability, and size is located between two highways (about 300m with noise protection to the northeast & 600m to the northwest - (latitude: 53.844413 | longitude: 10.597826)).
The municipality commissioned a noise protection survey. Measurements were taken at a height of 4m with a 1x1m grid. As a result, in an undeveloped state, the orientation values of DIN 18005/2 (55dBA / 45dBA) are exceeded, but the limit values for residential areas of 59 dBA during the day are complied with. At night, the limit value of 49 dBA is exceeded, so bedrooms are to be built on the side away from the noise. Further noise protection measures would not be sensible according to the report, as the noise is described as diffuse.
Do you have experience with how noise pollution changes in a developed state or how this burden feels?
Can you estimate from your own experience how reasonable the limit values are? We have no sense of how much the noise might bother us in the future or affect our health.
We look forward to your answers and assessment.
Best regards and thanks,
Chris
