Französisch Begriff oder Satz: environnement sonore
Among the points to be considered as part of a preliminary mining project study:

" les différents types de sol, leur qualité physico-chimique et leurs usages passés, le potentiel agricole ;
 la géologie (dépôts meubles, perméabilité des sols et lithologie, l’activité tectonique et sismique, les pentes, les zones sensibles à l'érosion et aux mouvements de terrain) ;
 l’état de la qualité de l’air ;
 l’état de **l’environnement sonore **;"


There are some refs to 'sound environment' but I'm not convinced. Is it the surrounding area that will be affected by the noise from the works to be carried out? If so, how do we say this concisely in English? If not, can anyone at least explain what it is so I can start looking for a translation?

Many TIA,

Noise absorption, noise bouncing off surfaces: these are factors that come into consideration.

The acoustic environment is a function of both the facility (e.g. building mechanical systems and permanent equipment, the intrusion of exterior sounds, the sound containment afforded by doors and walls, and the sound absorption afforded by surface finishes) and operations (e.g. the activities of people and function of medical equipment and furnishings).

Perhaps also called 'noise environment' sometimes:

auditory environment

Erklärung:
A term used in a lot of literature on hearing and deafness as well as on acoustics in architecture. See eg

"The figure above shows a simple illustration of a sound wave as it moves over time. However, a real world auditory environment, wave forms are not as simple." from http://biomed.brown.edu/Courses/BI108/2006-108websites/group...

"Contributions of age, cochlear integrity, and auditory environment to avian cochlear nucleus metabolism" from http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T...


And specifically in relation to mining:

This doc on occupational mining health, refers to the auditory environment in which workers operate:

http://www.iom-world.com/pubs/IOM_TM7515.pdf

And in this doc too it talks about the 'thermak, visual and auditory environments' relevant for mine workers:
