Major Railway Noise Levels with Day, Evening, and Night Metrics

Railway noise data from the uk_data platform, published by OpenDataNI under the OGL-UK-3.0 license. The description includes columns for Lden, Lnight, Lday, Levening, LAeq,16hr, and LAeq,6hr, which are standard acoustic indicators. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling community noise exposure based on Lden, Lday, Lnight, and Levening metrics.
• Assessing compliance with noise regulations using LAeq,16hr and LAeq,6hr measurements.
• Mapping geospatial noise pollution from major railway lines.
• Analyzing diurnal noise patterns using the separate day, evening, and night indicators.

Strengths

• Includes multiple standard acoustic indicators (Lden, Lnight, Lday, Levening, LAeq,16hr, LAeq,6hr).
• Available in multiple geospatial and tabular formats (JSON, KML, CSV, SHP, GEOJSON, HTML).
• Published under a permissive open license (OGL-UK-3.0).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
