Used in layers

observation ingest, signal compute, decision compute

Useful fields

station ID, station type, area type, timestamp, LAeq 1h, LAeq 24h, Lmin, Lmax, L90, preliminary flag, complaint category, standard used, airport or road context, barrier geometry, confidence

Reliability rating

High for official context; validate endpoint availability before automation.

Observation scope

leq_1h, leq_24h

Decision scope

Runtime note

Feeds active observations and signals that currently influence traveler-facing decisions.

How this helps travel recommendations

Turns noise data into source-backed decisions about hotel quietness, roadside exposure, airport-neighborhood caution, nuisance-complaint routing, factory or construction risk, and how much confidence to place in a station versus a proxy.

Developer reference

Best endpoint

Use Noise4Thai and PCD CSV for ambient station truth, ECAP for complaint routing, CAAT and AOT materials for airport-noise context, DIW for factory measurement methods, Labour guidance for workplace exposure, and OSM only for noise barriers and source-proxy enrichment.

Recommended refresh

Refresh every 15-60 minutes, with caching and backoff when the upstream fails.

Travel scoring role

Turns noise data into source-backed decisions about hotel quietness, roadside exposure, airport-neighborhood caution, nuisance-complaint routing, factory or construction risk, and how much confidence to place in a station versus a proxy.

Comparable / backup source

PCD Noise4Thai, PCD CSV, ECAP, NSO, CAAT, AOT, DIW, Labour, OSM, and any project-specific airport or EIA reports that stay publicly accessible.

Failure modes

  • There is no complete national live noise map for Thailand.
  • Ambient station readings do not prove a legal nuisance case by themselves.
  • Daily noise data can be preliminary and should not be treated as litigation-grade evidence.
  • Airport, factory, construction, nightlife, and workplace noise often live in reports, complaints, or private monitoring rather than public APIs.
  • Station coverage is sparse relative to neighborhood-level hotel or condo decisions.
  • Noise barriers and source proxies explain risk but are not measured dBA observations.
  • Dashboard markup or public-page layout can change without notice.

Source confidence: Treat this profile as strongest for the exact role named above. It is weaker when the source is stretched into live availability, legal proof, or traveler-fit decisions it does not directly prove.
