The Day–Evening–Night Noise Level (DENL) is a comprehensive noise metric used to assess the impact of environmental noise on communities.

The DENL is calculated by measuring noise levels over a 24-hour period and applying weighting factors to account for the increased sensitivity to noise during evening and nighttime hours.
