Introduction

Purpose

The objective of this tutorial is to help the user visualize the impact of sound and how it propagates from a location. The user will do this using the “opeNoise” Plugin in QGIS and create a noise map assessing the exposure to noise in a given area, due to the existence of different sources of noise. For this tutorial, the noise to be modelled is the impact of formula 1 race cars at Baku City Circuit, Azerbaijan.
