“…Burgess and Macpherson (2016) believed that noise pollution in the environment within homes result from road traffic noise especially from vehicles. In simulating car traffic noise on real estate rents, Kuehnel and Moeckel (2019) found that real estate price decrease at 0.4% per dB(A) and 9.6% for high noise-level areas, which confirmed the result of earlier study by Huang et al (2017) on acoustic amenities on high-rise building along transportation routes. This study provides a reference point for building and road designers.…”

One of the persistent environmental issues today is high noise levels in residential areas especially in the developing countries. There are several unorganized informal sector activities such as recreational, road traffic, household and religious activities, operation of power generating sets, incompatible uses in space among others that are the sources of noise pollution in residential areas. A number of empirical studies have been carried out on the impact of noise on residential property values. However, one finds it very difficult to ascertain whether noise pollution affects residential property value in Enugu Urban. The aim of this study is to ascertain whether noise pollution has significant influence on residential rental values in the study area. The study has discovered that residential properties affected by noise pollution have lower rental value compared to those unaffected by 3.1% of its rental value. The study has provided some insight to guide property buyers or users, investors, property managers, and valuers as regards property transactions. The study has suggested that property value spatial index of noise pollution in the study area can be built and use as a guide for urban management strategy to achieve sustainable development.

“…This sensitivity of people to noise leads to a decrease in their mental performance, as ascertained by [52], and an increase in blood pressure, especially when people are more irritated, as noted by [50]. Huang et al [48] observed that the convenience of sound does not increase with distance from the ground for buildings of great height, such as skyscrapers, and that exposure to this noise has an impact on the annoyance and discomfort of its residents. However, Suzuki et al [49] noted that there was a low percentage of people who were uncomfortable with the presence of low-frequency noise compared to the presence of high-frequency noise.…”

“…Regarding the results, [48] observed that, due to the effect of the ground, the effect of medium propagation, and the different frequency components, the comfort of the sound does not increase with distance from the ground, that is, on the highest floors. They concluded that low-frequency noise has great potential for the annoyance and discomfort of the residents of the building.…”

Low-Frequency Noise and Its Main Effects on Human Health—A Review of the Literature between 2016 and 2019

This paper summarizes the presently available knowledge about the association between low-frequency noise and its effects on health. A database was constructed with a total of 142 articles published between 2016 and 2019 regarding low-frequency noise exposure and its effects on health. A total of 39 articles were analysed in depth. The articles were divided into categories according to the effects on human health addressed. Regarding the emitting source, there was a greater number of articles addressing issues related to sources of environmental noise and noise from wind turbines. As for the effects generated on human health, there was a greater number of articles referring to the effects on sleep disorders, discomfort, sensitivity to and irritability from noise, annoyance, hearing loss, and cardiovascular diseases, and these effects are analysed in more detail in the present article.

“…Most soundscape elements in the urban landscape are associated with noise that is caused by humans and has harmful consequences. Roads, airports and railways are the key sources of noxious noise that exerts a negative impact on human health and the quality of life [9,10]. Noise levels above 55 dB lead to a sense of discomfort, and noise levels higher than 65 dB pose a health threat by contributing to sleep disorders, irritation, apathy, concentration…”

Traffic noise is one of the key determinants of apartment prices. The real estate market is highly sensitive to adverse environmental factors, which explains significant variations in apartment prices. The aim of this study was to identify the correlations between traffic noise levels and the prices of apartments traded on a local real estate market. The study analyzed three residential districts in the city of Olsztyn in north-eastern Poland. The database covered 5259 transactions concluded in 2005–2018. The collected data were standardized in terms of technical and functional parameters, and noise was the key factor differentiating the evaluated property. The relationships between the explained variable (apartment price) and the explanatory variable (traffic noise) were determined by linear correlation analysis. A negative correlation was noted, which confirms that a building’s location relative to the road network and, consequently, the level of traffic noise, is one of the factors that play a role in the potential buyers’ choice of property. The results of the study also indicate that the impact of traffic noise on the decisions made by real estate buyers continued to decrease in the analyzed period. Infrastructure projects in the city (construction of tramway lines and a ring road) have visibly reversed the previously observed trends and have decreased the strength of the above correlations in the evaluated residential districts. The values of the correlation coefficient were stabilized below the level noted in earlier stages of the analysis after the completion of the major infrastructure projects.
