Abstract

European cities have been interested by a particular type of noise pollution originated by recreational activities located in the city centres, the so called movida. This noise is mainly created by the presence of hundreds of people in the streets. In spite of the annoyance experienced by the people living in these areas, the phenomenon has not been thoroughly investigated yet. The paper presents the results of a questionnaire distributed in Turin and Milan aimed at threading some light on the nature of the problem, in particular: individuation of the most concerned areas, characteristics of the people complaining and evaluation of economic, health and everyday life consequences. Audit sample phonometric measurements for environmental noise evaluation have been carried out in critical areas of each city with the aim to give a sound basis to a subjectively reported annoyance and to correlate the level of disturbance to the administrative law limits present in Italy.
