Abstract. El problema de la contaminación acústica en España, de carácter inicialmente administrativo, se ha convertido en un problema penal como consecuencia del fracaso del control administrativo. Sin embargo, la regulación del delito medioambiental por contaminación acústica presenta dificultades desde múltiples puntos de vista, que se tratan en el artículo con apoyo en la jurisprudencia en la materia.
