Night Noise Guidelines (NNGL) for Europe - Final Implementation Report (29th April 2008)
Policies and legislations aiming at night noise control are often based on sleep disturbance in European countries.

From June 2003 until December 2006, WHO Regional Office for Europe European Centre for Environment and Health (Bonn office) implemented the Night Noise Guideline (NNGL) project co-sponsored by the European Commission. The goal of the NNGL project was to provide expertise and scientific advice to the European Commission and its Member States in developing future legislations in the area of night noise exposure control and surveillance.
