If people are permanently exposed to noise pollution, both their general quality of life and their health are affected. In the long term, for example, this can lead to hearing damage or high blood pressure caused by stress. At the same time, effective noise protection is also of interest to state and government decision-makers, as property values and the attractiveness of a residential area can be significantly influenced by noise.   <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54101598 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"54101598\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c98e56c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5c98e56c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Noise protection ordinance for residential areas: these regulations apply<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a9d07f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a9d07f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Specific noise protection regulations apply in residential areas, which in Germany are set out in the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG). The aim is to permanently protect people, animals and the ecosystem from harmful environmental impacts. The so-called Technical Instructions on Noise Abatement (TA-L\u00e4rm) are also relevant in residential areas, as they specify the legal principles of the BImSchG with technical specifications and implementation proposals. A possible legal claim can also be derived from the TA-L\u00e4rm. In principle, residents of a residential area only have a legal claim to noise protection in the case of new buildings and significant changes to the surroundings, for example an extension of the roadway in road traffic. Beyond this, decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and the noise nuisance must be proven, including a detailed report. Inadmissible noise is also regulated by the Administrative Offenses Act (OWiG) and fines of up to \u20ac5,000 are imposed for violations.      <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13b60c0c e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"13b60c0c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7591065c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7591065c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Limit values for noise in residential areas<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76c111e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"76c111e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When it comes to determining whether there is a disturbance of the peace, the limit values specified by the BImSchG are important. On the one hand, the type of area is relevant here: In a purely residential area, for example, stricter immission guide values must be complied with than in an industrial area. Secondly, the time of day also plays a decisive role for noise in residential areas. It must be 15 dB quieter at night than during the day.   <\/p><p>Neighborhood noise is also regulated in the Immission Control Act. This refers to all noises that are caused by the activities of private individuals and can be perceived as disturbing. A loud television, an unannounced party, working with certain gardening tools and even using the bottle bank fall into this category. For example, residents are not permitted to use a lawnmower on Sundays and public holidays or during the night-time quiet period from 8 pm to 7 am. In addition to these quiet periods, the following immission guide values for noise emissions are also decisive in the event of noise pollution from restaurants in residential areas:
