Less Noise Program. Acoustic insulation for 3600 houses affected in Lisbon by airplane noise

The Menos Ruído program aims to improve sound insulation for 3,600 homes in Lisbon affected by airport noise, with a budget of 10 million euros. The initiative targets residential buildings in critical noise zones, focusing on window and frame insulation. The program ensures that 20% of funds are allocated for social support, allowing low-income individuals to receive upfront assistance. Lisbon's councilor Vasco Anjos emphasized the need for additional funding for future years, as the current budget is limited. The city plans to continue supporting affected households in the coming years.
