“…Some studies indicated that annoyance caused by traffic noise was a modifier of the association between noise level and health. [ 124 125 ] However, this correlation should be interpreted with caution. Individual noise exposure largely depends on housing conditions and lifestyle,[ 126 ] and an equivalent sound level (e.g., L night ) was chosen for mainly practical reasons.…”

The mandate of the International Commission on Biological Effects of Noise (ICBEN) is to promote a high level of scientific research concerning all aspects of noise-induced effects on human beings and animals. In this review, ICBEN team chairs and co-chairs summarize relevant findings, publications, developments, and policies related to the biological effects of noise, with a focus on the period 2011-2014 and for the following topics: Noise-induced hearing loss; nonauditory effects of noise; effects of noise on performance and behavior; effects of noise on sleep; community response to noise; and interactions with other agents and contextual factors. Occupational settings and transport have been identified as the most prominent sources of noise that affect health. These reviews demonstrate that noise is a prevalent and often underestimated threat for both auditory and nonauditory health and that strategies for the prevention of noise and its associated negative health consequences are needed to promote public health.

“…It is suggested that exposure to intractable environmental stressors, such as noise, require the use of high levels of an individual’s personal resource in order to cope [ 52 ]. If unable to draw on sufficient resources this may undermine the sense of security with the home environment.…”

Exploring Perception of Vibrations from Rail: An Interview Study

Rail transport is an environmentally responsible approach and traffic is expected to increase in the coming decades. Little is known about the implications for quality of life of populations living close to railways. This study explores the way in which vibrations from rail are perceived and described by these populations. The study took place in the Västra Götaland and Värmland regions of Sweden. A qualitative study approach was undertaken using semi-structured interviews within a framework of predetermined questions in participants’ homes. A 26.3% response rate was achieved and 17 participants were interviewed. The experience of vibrations was described in tangible terms through different senses. Important emerging themes included habituation to and acceptance of vibrations, worry about property damage, worry about family members and general safety. Participants did not reflect on health effects, however, chronic exposure to vibrations through multimodal senses in individual living environments may reduce the possibility for restoration in the home. Lack of empowerment to reduce exposure to vibrations was important. This may alter individual coping strategies, as taking actions to avoid the stressor is not possible. The adoption of other strategies, such as avoidance, may negatively affect an individual’s ability to cope with the stressor and their health.

“…As well, some studies referred to well-being-related impacts of e.g., aircraft noise or railways [ 28 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ] but these were not considered applicable for road traffic. A range of noise studies provide dose-response relations between transport noise levels and noise annoyance which sometimes are highly significant [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ], but as noise annoyance mainly contributes to evaluative and objective well-being, it may not adequately reflect the multi-faceted concept of general subjective well-being [ 15 , 46 , 47 ]. Also, noise annoyance is often used in HIA as an independent health outcome and URGENCHE-related HIA work on transport interventions has also applied annoyance accordingly [ 7 , 48 ].…”

Well-being impact assessments of urban interventions are a difficult challenge, as there is no agreed methodology and scarce evidence on the relationship between environmental conditions and well-being. The European Union (EU) project “Urban Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in China and Europe” (URGENCHE) explored a methodological approach to assess traffic noise-related well-being impacts of transport interventions in three European cities (Basel, Rotterdam and Thessaloniki) linking modeled traffic noise reduction effects with survey data indicating noise-well-being associations. Local noise models showed a reduction of high traffic noise levels in all cities as a result of different urban interventions. Survey data indicated that perception of high noise levels was associated with lower probability of well-being. Connecting the local noise exposure profiles with the noise-well-being associations suggests that the urban transport interventions may have a marginal but positive effect on population well-being. This paper also provides insight into the methodological challenges of well-being assessments and highlights the range of limitations arising from the current lack of reliable evidence on environmental conditions and well-being. Due to these limitations, the results should be interpreted with caution.
