# EEA environmental noise — noise.discomap.eea.europa.eu (Noise folder)

## What it is
The European Environment Agency publishes Environmental Noise Directive
(END) exposure data as a keyless ArcGIS Server instance at
`noise.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services`, a distinct host/service
tree from the EEA air-quality discomap/discodata APIs already in this
corpus (confirmed by dedupe search before probing — no prior record covers
this `Noise` folder).

## Probes (2026-10-05T11:56:40-11:57:00Z)
```
curl -s "https://noise.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services?f=json"
curl -s "https://noise.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services/Noise?f=json"
curl -s "https://noise.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services/Noise/2012_NOISE_END_LAEA_update2015_Within_Agglo/MapServer?f=json"
```

## Observed
- Root service directory lists 28 folders including `Noise`, `Airbase`,
  `Corine`, `Natura2000` — the `Noise` folder is the END-specific tree.
- `Noise` folder contains 36 keyless MapServer/ImageServer endpoints: per-
  source Lden/Lnight contour layers (roads, rail, air, industry) for the
  **2007** and **2012** reporting rounds, plus `update2015` revisions of the
  2012 round, plus continuous raster mosaics (`mosaic_roads_day`,
  `rails_night`, `ind_day`, etc. as `ImageServer`s). There is **no 2017 or
  2022 END round** represented anywhere in this ArcGIS tree — the 4th
  END reporting round (data due 2022) is not published through this REST
  surface as of today, only through the 2012/2015-updated one.
- `2012_NOISE_END_LAEA_update2015_Within_Agglo/MapServer` alone exposes 135
  sublayers (agglomeration exposure broken out by source × Lden/Lnight ×
  dB band × total/percentage), in EPSG:3035 (LAEA Europe).

An agent looking for "current" EU noise exposure via this keyless ArcGIS
surface will silently get 2012-vintage (2015-refreshed) data with no
in-band signal that two more END reporting rounds have since occurred and
are not here.

## How observed
2026-10-05T11:56:40Z–11:57:00Z, `curl`, keyless GET, `f=json` on service
root, folder listing, and one representative MapServer.
