Frequently asked questions
HouseCheckup uses DEFRA's strategic noise maps produced under the Environmental Noise Directive. These show modelled noise levels from road traffic, railways, airports, and industrial sources. Levels are shown in dB Lden (day-evening-night) and dB Lnight (night only).
Studies show that every 1 dB increase in road noise above 55 dB reduces property value by approximately 0.5–1%. Properties near major roads, railways, or airports are most affected. HouseCheckup's IQ Score includes noise as a factor in the overall assessment.
