(8) This Regulation should also further reduce noise limits. It should take account of Regulation (EC) No 661/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009 concerning type-approval requirements for the general safety of motor vehicles, their trailers and systems, components and separate technical units intended therefor, which introduced new stricter noise requirements for motor vehicle tyres and which underlined the need for a coherent and comprehensive approach to address the problem of road noise, including taking into account the significant contribution of road surfaces to road noise. Studies highlighting the annoyance and health effects from road traffic noise, and the associated costs and benefits should also be heeded.
