La Seu d'Urgell council has bought a new professional sound level meter to measure noise pollution with legal validity, according to local officials. The device will help the municipality manage acoustic contamination more effectively.
The digital display sound level meter provides precise measurements that can be used in official proceedings. Council staff will be able to use it when dealing with complaints about excessive noise in the town.
This equipment is intended to strengthen local enforcement of noise rules, whether the source is commercial premises, public events or other activity. It gives the council a more reliable way to gather evidence when needed.
The move reflects a focus on improving quality of life for residents in La Seu d'Urgell. It also supports more consistent environmental management across the municipality.
