Bruitparif is a non-profit environmental organization responsible for monitoring the environmental noise in the Paris agglomeration. It was founded in 2004.

Mission

Bruitparif is a non-profit organisation accredited by the région Île-de-France, and the Ministry of Environment to monitor the environmental noise in Île-de-France. Its missions meet a regulatory requirement and come in three functions:

Measurements and assessments
Support to public policies
Awareness actions

Bruitparif monitor continuously a network of 45 long-term measurement stations named "Rumeur". They contribute to the assessment of health risks and environmental impacts though campaigns of awareness in schools and general media.

Harmonica Index

In 2014, Bruitparif and Acoucité created a European wide noise index named "Harmonica".^[1]

The Rumeur network

"Rumeur" is a network of 45 long-term measurement stations spread acroos the region Île-de-France.^[2]

The Sonopode

Bruitparif designed a specific autonomous equipment to house the measurement station. The sonopode contains a noise station, acoustic detection, wind station and a methanol fuel cell.^[3]
