Every actor whose operations cause especially disruptive noise or vibration must submit an advance notification to the municipal environmental authority. Especially disruptive noise and vibrations may be caused by construction, outdoor concerts, auto sport competitions, mining, rock crushing and pile-driving. A noise and vibration notification is required e.g.for large public events and construction projects.
The party causing the disruption must also provide advance notification of the noise or vibration to everyone in the affected area including residents, day care centres, schools and care facilities etc.
If the operations, which result in noise or vibration, cause disruptions in more than one municipality, a noise and vibration notification must be submitted to the Finnish Supervisory Agency.
