Abstract. This article analyzes existing experience in assessing noise impact in Russian cities. This was done to justify the choice of methodology for studying noise loads in Volgograd and to compare the current approach with proven practices. This analytical approach not only allows for the strengths and weaknesses of existing solutions to be considered but also identifies the most appropriate data collection and processing methods for specific research objectives. The authors reviewed and analyzed the experience of assessing and measuring noise impact in a number of Russian cities, using both traditional field-based methods and modern geoinformation technologies and modeling approaches.
Key words: noise pollution, noise impact, noise load assessment, in-kind measurements, noise mapping, geographic information systems, urban environment.
