“Unpleasant,” “awkward,” “without harmony”: here are noise’s main features in everyday speech or in common opinion. This negative approach really seems to be our soundscape’s most reliable representation. It is its social vision, the way through which we experience noise in everyday life. The law has to intervene so as to deal with this phenomenon. It does so in a joint and complementary way, approaching acoustic disturbances objectively and subjectively, both in their quantitative and qualitative dimensions.
