| magn. | natural noise | naturlig støy |
| environ. | neighbourhood noise General noise from a local source (such as the noise of a factory) which is disturbing to people living in the area | nabostøy |
| environ. | noise abatement Measures to reduce noise at the source, to encourage quieter technologies or equipment or to prevent or reduce the propagation of sound. Measures may include the isolation and damping of vibration sources; the replacement of components with quieter parts and material; the enclosure of particularly noisy components; the provision of noise barriers, etc. | støybekjemping |
| environ. | noise analysis Determination of the frequency components that make up a particular noise being studied | støyanalyse |
| environ. | noise barrier Barriers for reducing the propagation of sound: they are widely used in industry and alongside roads and railways to shield receivers from noise sources. Barriers will not reduce the noise on the receivers side, but will increase it, unless the barrier is also covered in absorbing material | støyskjerm |
| environ. | noise control The process to control the audible sound to an acceptable level | støybekjemping |
| environ. | noise disturbance Noise interferes with communication and interferes with thought processes. Noise interferes with sleep, it causes anger and frustration, and has been implicated as a contributor to various psychological and physiological problems. Noise detracts from the quality of life and the environment | støyforstyrrelse |
| environ. | noise effect | støyvirkning |
| environ. | noise emission The release of noise into the environment from various sources that can be grouped in: transportation activities, industrial activities and daily normal activities | støyemisjon |
| environ. | noise emission levy A mandatory sum of money levied by government upon producers of disturbing, harmful or unwanted sounds, frequently in the transportation or construction industries, to encourage reduction of sound levels | støyavgift |
| light. | noise equivalent input of a detector | støyekvivalent innverdi |
| light. | noise equivalent irradiance of a detector | støyekvivalent irradians |
| light. | noise equivalent power | støyekvivalent effekt |
| environ. | noise exposure plan A formulated or systematic method to prevent the effects of being subjected to loud or harsh sounds | plan mot støyplager |
| environ. | noise-free technology Sound is radiated both as air-borne and as structure-borne; most sources produce both, thus various noise attenuation principles must be employed. Measures include: the replacement of components with quieter parts and material; the enclosure of particularly noisy components; the selection of quieter types of fan; the replacement of noisy compressed-air nozzles with quieter types; the choice of quieter transmission and cooling systems | støyfri teknologi |
| environ. | noise immission Immission in the environment of acoustic vibrations that negatively affect human beings, animals, plants or other objects | støyimmisjon |
| environ. | noise legislation Legislation introduced by many governments to prevent or restrict the emission of noise from industrial, commercial and domestic premises; from motor vehicles and aircraft; and from consumer appliances and equipment | støylovgivning |

| environ. | noise pollution Harmful or unwanted sounds in the environment, which in specific locals, can be measured and averaged over a period of time | støyforurensning |
