Abstract:To study the physiological effects of airport noise exposure on organisms, SpragueDawley (SD) rats were exposed in soundproof chambers to previously recorded aircraftrelated noise for 65 d. As a comparison, unexposed control rats were also used. According to aircraft flight schedules, aircraft noise was replayed and its weighted equivalent continuous perceived noise levels (L WECPN ) were adjusted to 75 and 80 dB for the two experimental groups. Rat behaviors were observed through an open field test and the co… Show more
