摘要

This chapter explores the broad impact of noise, highlighting its non-auditory health effects. It is well acknowledged that noise as an environmental stressor disrupts daily life by affecting concentration, communication, rest, and sleep. Beyond these acute effects of noise, the understanding of the health effects of long-term exposure to noise, including the physiological mechanisms behind them, has evolved significantly over the years. Environmental noise is clearly an increasing concern for public health, and current knowledge underscores the urgency of comprehensive approaches to mitigate the health effects of environmental noise.
