Local municipality makes noise map for urban area in cooperation with other bodies which are responsible for making noise map. If the noise from airport expose noise for more than one municipalities, they can cooperate in their work in noise mapping.

8. Action plan:
If the result from Noise Mapping shows that noise is over allowed criteria, action plan is needed to show action to decrease noise.
Local municipalities is responsible for making action plan in cooperation with operational authority of major airport and local health authorities.
