Abstract

The number of noise complaint cases increased gradually every year in Taiwan. Refer to the annual report, the major noise sources were such as entertainment and business noise, following with noise from construction sites. The high population density and mixed residential and commercial zones caused a lot of noise complaint cases in urban areas. There were also a lot of neighbor noise complaints. In addition, traffic noise with no effective buffer zone caused complaints from the residents along the wayside.

This paper will describe the noise control regulation structure and introduce the control policy in Taiwan.
