Abstract
A review of the literature shows a growing interest in non-auditory effects of noise at work. Somatic, vestibular and psychological effects and different kinds of activity interferences are described. Suggestive evidence of an elevation of the blood pressure by noise exists, although the quality of the studies is limited. Many non-auditory effects can be described in a stress model. Annoyance and stress, however, were seldom the subject of field studies.Keywords
