Brussels. Quiet Bratislava, is the most noisy in the capital of Europe

The published report of the European Agency for the Environment once again confirmed the unhappy fact - about 41 million Europeans living in the largest cities of the continent, every day, forced to endure the noise on the average level of 55 decibels. It would seem that this figure is slightly larger than the volume of human speech at normal conversation should not cause major concern, but that it is becoming a constant background noise of even such a devastating effect on the body, causing serious complications of the cardiovascular system. Nearly four million Europeans live with the noise level of 70 decibels, which is comparable with the conversation already in raised voices. Nearly one million people in the Old World, settled in the vicinity of airports, military bases, etc., are regularly forced to endure the noise level to 75 decibels for example, from the roar of aircraft engines are particularly affected residents of the little Dutch, Germans and Britons. If we talk about the cities of the continent, recognized as the most noisy, then malopochetnoe first place there is Bratislava, the noise stress in which experiences about half the population. Unfavorable European metropolises also recognized Warsaw and the capital of France - Paris. The main source of noise, irreparably affecting the health of the population here is transportation - trams passing over the land branch of the underground, intraurban railways. Oh and, of course, going to take off and landing of low-flying airliners.
