Street Noise-Level Dataset — Regulatory & Governmental Use

Silencio’s Street Noise-Level Dataset provides regulatory bodies, governmental agencies, and public health authorities with the most reliable and detailed data on environmental noise worldwide. Built from over 35 billion datapoints, collected via our mobile app and enhanced through AI-powered interpolation, this dataset covers hyper-local average noise levels (dBA) across streets, neighborhoods, and cities in over 180 countries.

Our dataset is specifically suited for noise regulation, environmental impact assessments, policy-making, and compliance monitoring. It offers objective, real-world acoustic data that goes beyond traditional noise models by combining actual user-collected measurements with AI-predicted values. Authorities can use the data to map noise pollution hotspots, monitor changes over time, enforce regulations, and inform sustainable urban and environmental strategies.

Silencio also operates the world’s largest noise complaint database, giving policymakers a unique tool to correlate objective noise exposure with subjective community reports for more people-focused decision-making.

Delivery options are flexible, including: • CSV exports • S3 bucket access • High-resolution image maps suitable for integration into reports, GIS platforms, or public communication.

The dataset is available both as historical records and continuously updated data. An API is currently in development, and we are open to early access discussions and custom integrations tailored to government and regulatory workflows.

Fully anonymized and fully GDPR-compliant, Silencio’s data supports transparent, evidence-based environmental and public health decision-making.

The UK cybersecurity insurance market, a segment within the broader global market valued at $1.35 billion in 2025 with a 13.40% CAGR, is experiencing robust growth driven by escalating cyber threats targeting businesses of all sizes. Increased frequency and severity of ransomware attacks, data breaches, and compliance failures are compelling organizations to prioritize cyber risk mitigation, fueling demand for comprehensive insurance coverage.

Major players like AIG, Allianz, Beazley, Hiscox, and Marsh dominate the landscape, offering a range of solutions tailored to specific industry needs. The UK market benefits from a sophisticated regulatory environment and a high level of digital adoption, further propelling insurance uptake. However, challenges remain, including the complexity of assessing and pricing cyber risks, a lack of standardized policies, and the potential for significant payouts in the event of major breaches.
