“…The results are presented in Supplementary 2, Tables S1.1-S1.9. This review yielded thirty-four new (sub) studies investigating the association between environmental noise and sleep disturbance described in 16 papers [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52]. Fifteen papers described self-reported sleep disturbance as an outcome and three objective measures.…”

WHO published the Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region in 2018, based on seven systematic reviews including studies published between 2000 and 2014. Since then, new studies were published. At the request of the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), a review on annoyance, sleep disturbance, cardiovascular and metabolic effects in relation to environmental noise was prepared. The aim was to advise the Interdepartmental Group on Costs and Benefits Noise Subject Group (IGCB(N)) whether this new evidence warrants an update of their recommendations. Four databases for observational studies were screened and data were extracted on design, type and measurements of exposures and outcomes and confounders and their associations. The quality of the studies was indirectly assessed for cardiovascular and metabolic effects by only including studies with a case control or cohort design. For studies on annoyance and sleep disturbance, the risk of bias was expressed in exposure misclassification, selective participation and confounding. The update yielded 87 papers, pertaining to 108 new studies of which 40 new studies were on annoyance, 42 on sleep disturbance and 26 concerning cardiovascular and metabolic effects. The number, size and quality of the new studies suggest new meta-analyses could be undertaken over the sources and effects included in the WHO reviews.

“…It generates noise, thereby decreasing the exigencies for citizens’ comfort. Furthermore, noise causes permanent hearing loss, unpleasantness, stress, cardiovascular system disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other health issues in humans − and can be reduced using noise barriers, enclosures, and absorption materials. , Acoustic insulation made from petroleum such as fiberglass, polyester, polypropylene, polyurethane foam, , and melamine foam is one of the most effective ways to reducing noise . However, these materials are difficult to recycle, and burning them releases carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere .…”

Noise pollution, which has become a major environmental issue in urban areas, can be minimized using acoustic insulation derived from cellulose–silica aerogel. The raw materials required in the process include waste newspaper-based cellulose, geothermal silica, and NaOH/ZnO solution. Therefore, this study investigates the effect of cellulose, silica, and ZnO concentrations on optimizing the sound absorption coefficient (SAC) using the Box–Behnken design (BBD). The results showed that the optimum conditions were obtained at 39.8578 wt % cellulose, 16.5428 wt % silica, and 0.5684 wt % ZnO. The impedance test for the cellulose aerogel and cellulose–silica aerogel showed SAC values of 0.59 and 0.70, respectively, and were characterized by XRD, FTIR, BET–BJH, SEM–EDX, and TG. The results of XRD and FTIR data indicate that the product was cellulose–silica aerogel, and the SEM micrographs showed that silica particles were attached to the fiber surface. Furthermore, type IV isotherms were observed in the cellulose–silica aerogel, typical of mesoporous materials. The presence of silica strengthened the aerogel structure, improved its thermal stability, and increased the surface area but decreased its pore size.

“…The European Union estimates that over 40% of the population is exposed to a Day-Night of 55 dB or higher noise level, while 30% of the population is exposed to the same noise level during nighttime [ 5 ]. Recent studies show that 5 dB roadside noise increases hypertension risk by 3.4%, leading to hormonal dysfunction and blood pressure issues, affecting the cardiovascular system [ 6 , 7 ].…”

Noise pollution in developing countries such as Nigeria and Ghana is causing adverse effects on citizens, including hearing impairment, sleep disturbances, adverse social behavior, and cardiovascular diseases. This study assessed noise levels at the Kejetia Market in Ghana and the perceptions of health impact. A sound level meter (JD‐801A) was used to measure the noise levels at the various points in the market. Results showed that noise exposure levels were not within Ghana Environmental Protection Agency standards 2008, with sources including loud music, advertisements, human congestion, and vehicles. Respondents perceived noise pollution sources as annoyance, mental stress, sleep disturbances, lack of concentration, hearing, and cardiovascular effects. The study suggests that stakeholders and authorities should educate the public on the health effects of noise pollution.
