What is the general situation with the noise?

Excessive noise is perhaps a less perceived, but still very intensive factor affecting human health. In large urban agglomerations, the effect of noise is further aggravated by high concentrations of people living on a small area. In terms of noise effects on people Prague is without any doubt the worst of all regions of the Czech Republic.

The charts show that in spite of increasing traffic noise levels in places and areas which have already almost reached their maximum traffic capacity do not tend to change very much. Increased values can be observed at the Vršovická str. and Magistrát (Prague City Hall) sites, while the Kupa monitoring site has shown a decline.
