The night-time sound level ($L_{night}$) and the calculated total\ \ level ${L_{DEN}}$ are shown, which is derived from the values $L_{day}$, $L_{evening}$\ \ and $L_{night}$.\n\nThe calculation of ${L_{DEN}}$ is based on the following\ \ formula:\n\n$$\nL_{DEN} = 10 \\cdot \\log_{10}\\left(\\frac{12 \\cdot 10^{L_{day}/10}\ \ + 4 \\cdot 10^{(L_{evening}+5)/10} + 8 \\cdot 10^{(L_{night}+10)/10}}{24}\\\ right)\n$$\n\nThe averaging levels $L_{day}$, $L_{evening}$ and $L_{night}$\ \ are calculated using the formula\n\n$$\nL_{avg} = 10 \\cdot \\log_{10}\\left(\\\ frac{1}{n} \\sum 10^{L/10}\\right)\n$$\n\nwhere $n$ is the number of measured\ \ values and $L$ is the respective sound level. The following applies to the\ \ individual day sections\n\n- **day ($L_{day}$)**: Period from 06:00 to 18:00\n\ - **Evening ($L_{evening}$)**: Period from 18:00 to 22:00\n- **Night ($L_{night}$)**:\ \ Period from 22:00 to 06:00\n\nThese indicators are based on [DIRECTIVE 2002/49/EC](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dir/2002/49/oj/eng)\ \ of the European Parliament and of the Council of June 25, 2002 relating to\ \ the assessment and management of environmental noise. The method described\ \ in DIN 45641 is used to determine the averaging level, as also described in\ \ the Wikipedia explanation of **averaging level** (as of: 19.02.2025).\n\n\ Below are the three key summary metrics exported in noise_stats.csv:\n\n- **Annual\ \ cost rate per pop. unit [€ / (pop·dB(A)·year)]**:\n\tRepresents the monetized\ \ noise exposure cost following the German EWS approach.\n\tIt originates from\ \ a benchmark of 85 DM per person per dB above the threshold in 1995, converted\ \ to euro and inflated by 2 % annually up to 2014.\n\n- **Total damages at receiver\ \ points [€]**:\n Sum of all monetary noise damages across every receiver-point\ \ and hour.\n Each hourly “damages_receiverPoint_*.csv” file reports the\ \ damage in €, so the total remains in euros.\n\n- **Total immission at receiver\ \ points [dB(A)·h]**:\n Cumulative A-weighted sound exposure over all receiver-points\ \ and hours.\n For each grid point, the hourly dB(A) level is summed over\ \ 24 hours, then aggregated across all points, yielding units of dB(A)·h.\n\n\ ## Literature\n\n[1] I.
