Environmental noise is a pervasive environmental pollutant that leads
to annoyance and can be perceived as stressful. Studies have examined
whether environmental noise exposure is associated with psychiatric
hospital admissions, use of medication, psychological symptoms, and
psychiatric disorders measured by questionnaires and structured interviews.
There is some evidence, although studies are not consistent, that
environmental noise is associated with higher rates of minor psychiatric
disorders. The lack of methodologically sound prospective studies
means that further research is needed before definite conclusions
can be reached on the link between noise and mental health.
