“…Los hallazgos donde no se confirma correlación entre perturbaciones en el sueño ocasionadas por ruido puede deberse a muestras estadísticas pequeñas, como también el no tener en cuenta los niveles máximos de ruido y también puede incidir la actitud de las personas frente a la fuente de ruido que es un modificante de gran alcance a las respuestas del ruido ambiental, además, es necesario reconocer que la interpretación de los datos es difícil porque no existe un uso estándar en la medida del poligrama (Carter, 1996).…”

“…Cuando comienza a ver daños auditivos el grado de respuesta de un individuo frente al ruido no es el mismo, por lo tanto, no es comparable la actitud de un sordo o con cierto grado de sordera de quien no lo es, y en tal caso no hay adaptación al ruido sino que se está frente a una limitación orgánica, de ahí que toca examinar este hecho (Carter, 1996).…”

ResumenEl ruido es un sonido que actúa como contaminante ambiental, tiene un efecto fisiológico y otro psicológico; en este trabajo se profundiza sobre el segundo, examinando las principales teorías y evidencias empíricas al día de hoy e igualmente se hace una consideración de cierto carácter económico. Se encuentran serias diferencias en los resultados de las investigaciones que pueden obedecer a la aplicación de protocolos y metodologías distintas como el de comparaciones en diferentes escenarios.Palabras clave: Sonido, ruido, vibración, vibración mecánica, efecto fisiológico, efecto psicológico, contaminación ambiental. AbstractNoise is a sound that acts as environmental pollutant, and has a physiological and a psychological effects; this paper discusses the second, examining the major theories and empirical evidence to date and also includes slight economic consideration. They are serious differences in the results of investigations that may be due to the implementation of protocols and different methodologies such as the comparisons in different scenarios.

“…The reported effects on sleep disturbance tend to be a reduction in the sleep period, arousals, awakenings, sleep stage modifications and autonomic responses (e.g. change in heart rate) (Vallet et al, 1983;Carter, 1996;Babisch et al, 2005). Moreover, the reduction in sleep quality has secondary impacts (generally felt the day after disturbance) including fatigue, low work capacity, reduced cognitive performance, changes in daytime behaviour as well as mood changes and associated negative emotions.…”

The World Health Organisation has recently acknowledged that contrary to the trend for other environmental stressors, noise exposure is increasing in Europe. However, little research has been conducted on environmental noise exposure to handling activity at shipping ports. This paper reports on research examining the extent of noise exposure for residents within the vicinity of Dublin Port, Ireland using the nation's largest port terminal as a proxy for port noise. In order to assess the level of exposure in the area, long-term measurements were undertaken at the most exposed residential façade for a period of 45 days to determine the extent of night-time exposure was above levels recommended by the World Health Organisation. The indicators L90, Leq and LMax were used to determine exposure levels. The results show that exposure is above night-time guideline limits set down by the WHO and is above Irish levels for triggering a mitigation response and highlight the extent to which port noise can be a significant environmental stressor. The research also investigated the extent of low-frequency noise (which is associated with greater health issues) from night-time port handling activity and found a significant low-frequency component indicating the negative health issues that might arise from port noise exposure more generally. We also undertook semi-structured interviews with residents to qualitatively assess the self-reported impact of prolonged night-time noise exposure for local residents.

“…Research conducted by Carter (1996) has shown that exposure to noise during the night can lead to considerable disruption in the stages of the sleep cycle, and particularly deep sleep stages which are considered essential for physical recuperation (Naitoh et al, 1975;Thiessen, 1988) while Ohrstrom and Skanberg (2004) have shown that the quality of sleep at home is reduced considerably after exposure to traffic noise when compared to a quiet reference night. The problem with over-exposure to night-time noise is that it produces a number of secondary effects as a result of sleep disturbance including affecting deep sleep stages, arousals and awakenings and this produces a number of secondary effects (i.e.…”
