The preparation of a noise action plan is part of the European Union's Directive on Environmental Noise (2002/49/EC), which was implemented in Iceland by Regulation no. 1000/2005 on noise mapping and action plans, and aims to reduce noise and its adverse effects. The action plan is based on the results of the 2022 noise mapping, along with noise maps showing sound levels at a height of 4 m above ground level.
