Annoyance Caused by Environmental Noise: Elements for Evidence‐Based Noise Policies

Abstract: Because effects of environmental noise do not require extremely high or long exposures, they occur, with different degrees of intensity, in a substantial part of the world population, especially in areas with a dense population and dense transportation networks. As a consequence, noise is a global issue that continues to detract from sustainable development. This article attempts to contribute to evidence-based noise policies by providing a review and systematization of noiseeffects modeling and findings. The … Show more

“…Babisch et al emphasize the importance of the subjective assessment of noise pollution by those affected [95,96]. Therefore, we argue that the health effect of noise is not independent of the rating on subjective annoyance [83,97]. This raises the questions if habituation [21] (due to a long period of residence) or declining hearing capacity with increasing age could have a positive effect on noise annoyance and thus also on other health outcomes (such as hypertension).…”

“…This component can be perceived as the component that closes the feedback loop by providing the relevant information to the user. It is worth mentioning that there are various medical studies and research efforts that we can leverage when assessing and correlating environmental pollution and health risks (Miedema, 2007). 4 The Resource Manager ensures the efficiency of the application by tracking power and resource consumption in order to modify the sensing frequency and sampling duration dynamically.…”
