The new research, commissioned by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, marks a key phase in the Government's plan to plot noise from roads, railways, aircraft and industrial sites across all of England.
The map for Brighton will follow the one already produced for London, which recently won a prestigious innovation award for the best new media technology to improve public life.
Ben Bradshaw said the award from New Statesman demonstrated just how beneficial these maps can be for everyone.
"The potential usages are enormous - by creating noise maps we can get a better understanding of the overall situation and target our efforts to tackle unwanted noise where it is really needed.
"Unwanted noise has probably affected us all at one time or another - it can cause stress and annoyance, interrupt conversation and disturb sleep.
"By creating more of these maps we can help Government, local authorities, planners and the Brighton public better understand noise levels and work more efficiently to reduce the number of people who are exposed to high levels of noise."
The Noise Mapping England Project is part of the first stage of the development of a National Ambient Noise Strategy. The idea is to identify, in simple terms, where people are affected by noise, how many are affected, and what the source of the noise is.
The findings from the mapping project will then be evaluated against economic, social and environmental factors before agreeing the necessary action required and final strategy.
The other cities and towns to be noise mapped include: Reading, Bristol, Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Southampton, Southend, Leicester, Nottingham, Coventry, Stoke on Trent, Hull, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, Birkenhead, Blackpool, Preston, Tyneside and Teeside, along with the West Midlands and West Yorkshire.
