Dublin City Council measures ambient sound quality throughout Dublin with a network of sound monitors. This datasets consists of spreadsheets and raw data taken from monitoring sites around Dublin City. The sound level meters store continuous 5 minute sound pressure levels, with information from the individual daily files then collated into a spreadsheet with separate worksheet for each month of the year . The results of the sound level meter are given in Leq, which is the average sound level over the period of measurement. L95 and the L10 data is also provided. This is the sound level exceeded for 95% and 10% of the time respectively. The sound monitoring network helps to validate the noise mapping grid dataset, which is available in the research zone.

This is an api that provides continuous real time as well as historic data from the network of air quality monitoring stations that are part of the national air quality monitoring network managed in cooperation between the Environmental Protection Agency and Dublin City Council, as well as other stations set up by Dublin City Council to monitor local air quality conditions. This api also provides access to Dublin City Council's network of environmental sound level monitors.
