According to the World Health Organization, noise leads to loss of hearing; sleep disturbances; cardiovascular and psycho-physiologic problems; performance reduction; and annoyance responses.
Noise levels in excess of 80 dB is potentially hazardous. (80 dB is roughly equivalent to the noise of heavy truck traffic on a busy road). In the young, hearing loss affects communication, cognition, behavior, social-emotional development, and academic outcomes. It is important to realize that ears do not get used to loud noise — they turn deaf.
Noise can lead to a number of personal disabilities, handicaps, and behavioral changes. These include problems with concentration, fatigue, lack of self-confidence, irritation, misunderstandings and decreased working capacity.
It is also known that continuous noise in excess of even 30 dB disturbs sleep. When sleep disruption becomes chronic, physiological problems set in and begin to impact our health.
Noise is also linked with heart attack and stroke. Not just our physical health, noise can also accelerate and intensify the development of latent mental disorders.
