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

Railway noise data from the uk_data platform, published under the OGL-UK-3.0 license by OpenDataNI. The description includes columns for Lden, Lnight, Lday, Levening, and LAeq metrics, suggesting a structured format for acoustic analysis. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling community noise exposure based on Lden (day-evening-night) levels.
• Assessing nighttime noise disturbance from railways using Lnight metrics.
• Analyzing daytime versus evening noise profiles from the Lday and Levening columns.
• Comparing long-term (16hr) and short-term (6hr) average sound levels using LAeq data.

Strengths

• Includes multiple standardized acoustic metrics (Lden, Lnight, Lday, Levening, LAeq) for detailed analysis.
• Data is published under the permissive OGL-UK-3.0 license.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded as 2026-03-18 11:22:46.888331.

Limitations

• Row count, file size, and specific column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Data may reflect geographic or source bias inherent to the uk_data platform.
