“…Individuals living in the night noise-exposed area were characterized by a 2-fold higher insomnia prevalence than those living in the low noise-exposed area (33 vs. 16%, p = 0.046) and reached higher scores in AIS. As a consequence of sleep disturbances induced by noise, the authors observed higher diastolic BP at night and higher office DBP in exposed individuals compared to those living in a low noise exposure area (8).…”

The results from epidemiological studies suggest that environmental noise including aircraft, railway, road traffic, wind turbine, and leisure-related noise is a growing public health concern. According to the WHO, at least 100 million people in the European Union are affected by traffic noise levels above the WHO-recommended thresholds. Environmental noise can adversely affect physical and mental health, as well as wellbeing. Chronic low-level noise exposure typical for most environmental sources is associated with psychophysiological stress causing non-auditory or indirect noise effects leading ultimately to cardiovascular diseases. Among all environmental noise sources, aircraft noise is considered the most annoying, and its leading mechanism of action is autonomic system activation such as increases in heart rate and blood pressure. Previously, we observed that long-term exposure to aircraft noise was associated with increased diastolic blood pressure, arterial stiffness (as assessed by pulse wave velocity), and impaired left ventricular diastolic function. All mentioned above effects are early, subclinical, and potentially reversible changes which preceded late noise effects in the cardiovascular system, that is, established cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure. However, even a short-term reduction in aircraft noise exposure as observed during the COVID-19 lockdown may reverse these negative effects on arterial stiffness and blood pressure and may decrease the prevalence of insomnia. In this review, we aimed to critically discuss our obtained results considering recent studies on the influence of aircraft noise (and other traffic noises) on cardiovascular diseases in the context of the WHO Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region.

“…The assumption that noise-induced sleep disturbance is part of the causal pathway from nocturnal exposure to increased risks for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases is often replicated (e.g. WHO, [76]), evidence for the mediating effect is scarce [56] or contradictory [21]. Very recently it was concluded that nocturnal aircraft noise exposure increases the risk of developing hypertension via a direct effect on blood pressure as well as via a mediated effect as a consequence of chronic sleep disturbance [56].…”

Aircraft noise exposure is an environmental stressor and has been linked to various adverse health outcomes, such as annoyance, sleep disturbance, and cardiovascular diseases. Aircraft noise can trigger both psychological (annoyance and disturbance) and physiological stress responses (e.g. activation of the cardiovascular system and release of stress hormones). People are usually able to deal with this kind of stressor. However, a constant exposure to aircraft noise can cause a continuous state of stress. This in turn can constrain a person’s ability to regenerate and restore its resources to cope with the noise situation. As a consequence, the risk for certain negative health outcomes can be increased. Within the ANIMA project, literature reviews on the effects of aircraft noise on health outcomes have been performed. This chapter gives an overview of the relevant health outcomes affected by aircraft noise and summarises the results of different reviews and studies on these outcomes. Additionally, the underlying mechanisms of how noise impacts health are explained for daytime as well as night-time aircraft noise exposure (i.e. while sleeping). Further, the relevance of considering not only the general population, but vulnerable groups as well (such as children and elderly people) is described. Lastly, open questions for further studies are presented and discussed.

To hold all components we modified an existing Arduino Uno case design from ZygmuntW (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:628929 licensed under the Creative Commons -Attribution -Share Alike license [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/]), adding space to accommodate the sensor boards and access to the SD shield used for storing sensor data. This offers protection for the components of the sensors while still maintaining immediate access to the power and data without any need for disassembly. Fully assembled, the device dimensions are approximately 3.5"x3"x1.75" which makes it reasonable to install even in areas without much free space. It also weighs less than 130g so it would not be unreasonable to mount using hook and loop or adhesives in rooms where space is extremely limited or where the ideal location is not near any table space. B. How to BuildStep-by-step instructions for assembling and using our device can be found on Github, along with a bill of materials, the Arduino code, and .stl file of the case for 3D printing.
