Abstract:

The effects of transportation noise is a concern of many Government agencies, including the

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the

Federal Railroad Administration, National Parks Service, and the U.S. Postal Service. The

Volpe National Transportation Systems Center has long provided support to many of these

agencies in the area of transportation-related noise. More recently support has included the

important area of psychological and physiological health effects of noise for both humans and

wildlife.

The health effects of noise on humans are typically grouped into two broad categories:

psychological and physiological. Psychological effects of noise include annoyance, speech

interference, occupational and academic performance degradation, and interference with

recreational activities. Physiological effects of noise include noise-induced hearing loss, hearing

impairment, sleep disturbance, muscular effects, cardiovascular effects, and mental health.

There has been extensive research on the effects of transportation noise on wildlife, which

include many species. These reports vary in scope from long-term research studies to

government investigations to environmental agency citings. Research, primarily tied to aircraft

noise, has shown that certain noise intrusions do cause an effect on wildlife.
