| Abstract | This document synthesizes findings from major publications on the adverse effects of noise and sound levels to protect public health and welfare, and compares those findings to Information on Levels of Environmental Noise Requisite to Protect Public Health and Welfare with an Adequate Margin of Safety (published in 1974 by the Environmental Protection Agency). While hearing loss and speech interference were well understood in 1974, substantial research has been conducted over the past 45 years that improves understanding of how noise adversely affects annoyance, sleep, health, cognition, and housing cost. Knowledge gaps and research recommendations are provided for each of the topics reported. |
