According to the requirements of the European Noise Directive, END, as well as to the date of the Spanish Noise Law, the noise map of the Agglomeration of Pamplona has been carried out. The calculation area was 127 km2 with a total population of 280,200 people. Receiver points were located on the corners of a grid 10x10 meters size. With regard to people affected by noise, some doubts remain in relation to the method of calculation. From the method used in this work-noise level at the nearest grid point from the façade- 9% of people bear an Ld equal or greater than 65 dBA and 13% people bear an Ln equal or greater than 55 dBA. According to the limits stated in the new Spanish Law-RD 1367_2007, 60 dBA for Ld and 50 dBA for Ln- those percentages increase up to 37% and 44%, respectively.
