This paper presents functionality and operation results of the system for creating dynamic maps of noise thread with the use of the PL-Grid infrastructure integrated with distributed sensors network for measuring, modeling and rendering noise level distribution. The work presented provides a demonstration of the services being prepared within the PLGrid Plus project. Specific computational environments, so called domain grids, are developed in the mentioned project. For particular domain grids, specialized IT solutions are prepared, i.e. dedicated software implementation, and hardware (infrastructure adaptation), suited for particular researchers’ groups demands, including acoustics (domain grid “Acoustics”). The infrastructure and the software developed can be utilized mainly for research and education purposes. The engineered software is intended for creating maps of noise threat for road, railways and industrial sources. Integration of the software service with distributed sensor network enables to automatically update noise maps for a specific time period. The unique feature of the developed software is a possibility to estimate auditory effects which are caused by the exposure to noise. The estimation of auditory effects is based on calculated noise levels and on a given exposure period. The outcomes of this research study are presented in a form of the cumulative noise dose and characteristics of the temporary threshold shift.
