“…As mentioned above, the concentrations of the chemical pollutants did not exceed the maximum allowable concentration limits for worksites in exposed group I, whereas the levels of noise were within the range of occupational hygiene standards and corresponded to minimum or moderately high noise exposures in exposed group II. Permanent exposures to noise and vibration have been shown to be potential health hazards [24,25]. The genotoxic activity of these factors has not been completely investigated, although some clastogenic and DNA-damaging effects were found in animals [26,27].…”

“…For blood pressure, while Lee et al (2010) found no changes across noise exposed groups, Lusk et al (2004) and Zamanian et al (2013) observed increased blood pressure with noise exposure. Likewise, Bjor et al (2007) found no changes in HRV between noise exposure groups; however, both Lee et al (2010) and Kraus et al (2013) found significant changes in HRV in groups exposed to higher noise intensities. Wagner et al (2010) showed significant increases in both salivary cortisol and amylase after exposure to noise.…”

Background While previous epidemiological studies report adverse effects of long-term noise exposure on cardiovascular health, the mechanisms responsible for these effects are unclear. We sought to elucidate the cardiovascular and stress response to short-term, low (31.5-125 Hz) and high (500 – 2000 Hz) frequency noise exposures. Methods Healthy male (n = 10) participants were monitored on multiple visits during no noise, low- or high-frequency noise exposure scenarios lasting 40 minutes. Participants were fitted with an ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure measures and saliva samples were taken before, during and after noise exposures. ECGs were processed for measures of heart rate variability (HRV): high-frequency power (HF), low-frequency power (LF), the root of the mean squared difference between adjacent normal heart beats (N-N) intervals (RMSSD), and the standard deviation of N-N intervals (SDNN). Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DPB), and pulse were reported and saliva was analyzed for salivary cortisol and amylase. Multivariate mixed-effects linear regression models adjusted for age were used to identify statistically significant difference in outcomes by no noise, during noise or after noise exposure periods and whether this differed by noise frequency. Results A total of 658, 205, and 122, HRV, saliva,and blood pressure measurements were performed over 41 person days. Reductions in HRV (LF and RMSSD) were observed during noise exposure (a reduction of 19%(−35,−3.5) and 9.1%(−17,−1.1), respectively). After adjusting for noise frequency, during low frequency noise exposure, HF, LF, and SDNN were reduced (a reduction of 32%(−57,−6.2), 34%(−52,−15), and 16%(−26,−6.1), respectively and during high frequency noise exposure, a 21%(−39,−2.3) reduction in LF, as compared to during no noise exposure was found. No significant (p>0.05) changes in blood pressure,salivary cortisol or amylase were observed. Conclusions These results suggest that exposure to noise, and in particular, to low-frequency noise negatively impacts HRV. The frequencies of noise should be considered when evaluating the cardiovascular health impacts of exposure.

“…They revealed an increase in the sympathetic regulation of heart rate under noise exposure. Björ et al [48] investigated healthy men and women and also noted increased values of the LF/HF ratio during noise exposure, indicating increased sympathetic control of heart rate.…”

“…In this context, previous studies suggest that noise exposure affects the sympathetic component of heart rate autonomic control [47,48]. Tzaneva et al [47] exposed subjects to 135 min of noise with Leq 95 dB (A) sound pressure and analyzed HRV before, during, and after noise exposure.…”

Previous studies have described significant impact of different types of noise on the linear behavior of heart rate variability (HRV). However, there are few studies regarding the complexity of HRV during exposure to traffic noise. In this study, we evaluated the complexity of HRV during traffic noise exposure. We analyzed 31 healthy female students aged between 18 and 30 years. Volunteers remained at rest seated under spontaneous breathing during 10 minutes with an earphone turned off, and then they were exposed to traffic noise through an earphone for a period of 10 minutes. The traffic noise was recorded from a very busy city street and the sound was comprised of car, bus, and trucks engines and horn (71-104 dB). We observed no significant changes in the linear analysis of HRV. CFP3 (Cohen's = 1.28, large effect size) and CFP6 (Cohen's = 1.11, large effect size) parameters of chaotic global analysis and Shannon (Cohen's = 1.13, large effect size), Renyi (Cohen's = 1.06, large effect size), and Tsallis (Cohen's = 1.14, large effect size) entropies significantly increased ( < 0.005) during traffic noise exposure. In conclusion, traffic noise under laboratory conditions increased the complexity of HRV through chaotic global analysis and some measures of entropy in healthy females.
