La prĂ©sente Ă©tude est une revue critique de la documentation scientifique sur les effets du bruit sur la santĂ© mentale. Cette Ă©tude a Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©e sur la base de la recherche de mots-clĂ©s, de lâimpact factor des revues, du nombre de fois que lâarticle a Ă©tĂ© citĂ©. Hinari a servi de base des donnĂ©es. Lâanalyse et la sĂ©lection des articles scientifiques nous ont permis de les regrouper en trois catĂ©gories dâĂ©tudes. Les Ă©tudes fondamentales ont dosĂ© les taux des hormones de stress dans le plasma, les urines et la salive. Les Ă©tudes expĂ©rimentales ont exposĂ© les sujets humains Ă la pollution sonore pour Ă©valuer les dĂ©ficits de leurs mĂ©moire, attention et performance. Les Ă©tudes Ă©pidĂ©miologiques ont Ă©valuĂ© les dĂ©ficits cognitifs chez les Ă©lĂšves Ă©tudiant dans des milieux bruyants et lâĂ©tat de santĂ© mentale des individus habitant aux alentours des aĂ©roports, voies ferrĂ©es et des autoroutes. Les Ă©tudes fondamentales et expĂ©rimentales ont abouti Ă un consensus scientifique sur les effets nĂ©gatifs du bruit tandis que les rĂ©sultats des Ă©tudes Ă©pidĂ©miologiques ne permettent pas de tirer des conclusions solides, des Ă©tudes ultĂ©rieures sâavĂšrent donc nĂ©cessaires.Any human activity generates noise. It is considered as a risk factor for peopleâs health. The present review of literature has assessed the impact of noise on mental health; it is summarized into four points: objective, methods, results and conclusion. Objective: The main objective of this study is to expose the actual knowledge state of noise effects on mental health after overview and critical analysis of literature to identify the acquired and shortcomings, to reflect on research direction in terms of noise pollution in the future. Methods: The literature review was conducted based on: research of keys words in articles published, research of the number of quotations of articles in Journal Citation Reports (JCR), published in web of science, research of impact factor of journals. One hundred articles were selected, after analyzing contents, items were classified into: fundamental studies (25%), experimental studies (50%), and epidemiological studies (25%). Results: The fundamental studies have verified the hypothesis according to which noise generates stress. Researchers have dosed hormones of stress in plasma, urine and saliva in individuals exposed to noise of different decibels. The results found were unanimous: The rates of stress hormones found, were significantly high in three liquids. This means that noise causes stress. For experimental studies, researchers have experienced the role of noise on memory, attention and performance. Human subjects were exposed to different decibels to assess level of disruption to their memory, attention, and performance. The results revealed that noise disturbs memory, distracts attention and decreases performance. Experimental studies are the most abundant and constitute 50% of the current literature review.The epidemiological studies have evaluated the intellectual performance of students in schools located in noisy environme...
