Madrid City Council is one of the most active cities fighting against noise, thanks to the Monitoring Network of Acoustic Contamination that grants knowledge and control over the noise in a city with more than 3.5 million inhabitants. The innovative approach in the development of procedures to carry out noise measurements with the most advanced and reliable means at all times is to be highlighted. The Acoustic Pollution Monitoring Network is made up by three types of instrumentation: Permanent Network formed by 31 stations in charge of the control and continuous monitoring of the existing noise levels in the city; Mobile Network formed by 16 mobile stations that allows analysing the noise levels in some points of the city that requires a specific study; and SADMAM formed by 5 instrumented vehicles that allows recording noise levels anywhere in the city. The City of Madrid implemented this pioneering monitoring network that enables, through the combination of measurements and calculations, the categorization of the emission of the roads in the city or detecting and improving areas with leisure noise contamination, for which different plans and strategies are elaborated, which have managed to reduce the noise in different areas of the city.
