What is “Noise”?
Two usages:
• Any potentially damaging sound• Noise Induced Hearing Loss
• Any unwanted sound• Annoyance and other health effects

One sound can have more than one meaning
• Meaning is mostly what counts for people
• Meaning is ascribed in the brain
• We need to understand the auditory brain and how it interacts

Why do some sounds upset some people sometimes?

Evolutionary Significance of Sound
• Sound is physical energy carried on waves
• Detectable from any direction
• Detectable when we are asleep
• Warning and attention-grabbing stimulus

Why Stress Causes Health ProblemsPhysiological Response to Stress
Positive Effects Negative long-term effects
Upregulation of the immune system
• Increased resistance to disease/injury
• Better healing
• Immune dysfunction• Increased vulnerability to
allergies.
Cardiovascular arousal • Stronger/Faster • Cardiovascular disease• Poor sleep
Cortisol release • Carbohydrate conservation
• Overeating• Visceral fat storage• Diabetes

• Road traffic

• Trains
• Amplified music

Two SES-matched areas
• One within 50 metres of a motorway
• One > 800 metres from any main road, airport, or railway
• “Camouflaged” questionnaire about neighbourhood amenity
• Measured Health-Related Quality of Life in >500 people using WHOQoL
• Also asked how sensitive they were to noise

People living near motorways had lower health-related quality of life in all four domains . . .

Noise troubles people
• By definition
• It causes stress
• This results in psychoneuroendocrinological effects

Loud sound causes hearing loss
• Combination of temporary (adaptation) and permanent
• Mammalian ears cannot heal once damaged
• Does not matter whether the person enjoys the sound or not

“It blocks out life and noise.”
“. . . also distract you from other sounds going on around you.”
"Loud music puts you in the mood to drink when you're with your mates."
“Everyone wants to be part of an experience, especially when it’s music, and share it with each other. Loud music makes you feel as one.”
“Loud music in clubs past midnight gives them an excuse not to talk to people and instead be intimate.”
“. . . other people can't hear intimate conversations. So that you can have a lot of people in close proximity, but it is still private.”
