They are for external sound deadening to help comply / reduce traffic noise levels in the cities etc. so turning the radio up will not help!
1.1 EU Policy Environmental noise, caused by traffic and industrial and recreational activities, is considered to be a significant local environmental problem in Europe. It is estimated that millions of people suffer from noise levels that scientists and health experts consider unacceptable. The limitation of noise from transport vehicles and certain types of equipment is a necessary step towards reducing noise pollution in the European Community. The main focus of European Union noise policy is on noise abatement through the use of mandatory technical standards for products. The most important legal tools consist of a set of directives establishing noise emission limits for particular products: motor vehicles, motorcycles, tyres, aeroplanes, household appliances and outdoor equipment. In addition, there are two important new directives: the first provides for the imposition of noise-related operating restrictions at airports; the second provides for the creation of noise maps and action plans in order to reduce environmental noise.
