Noise Effects and Management

This study shows that natural sounds reduce neural strain compared to urban noise, as measured by EEG, while maintaining behavioral performance.

This study shows traffic noise reduces fecundity and mating efficiency in Drosophila melanogaster, with male locomotor activity also affected, suggesting negative impacts on insect fitness.

This study investigates the effects of railway-induced vibrational noise on honey bees, finding individual behavioral reactions but no population-level differences in key metrics.

This study shows that aircraft noise exposure in mice causes rapid metabolic changes in the heart, resembling those in cardiovascular disease.

This study investigates how background noise affects speech processing in a virtual classroom using EEG, eye-gaze, and GSR measurements, finding that intermittent noise is more disruptive than continuous noise.

This study examines how different urban traffic conditions affect EEG rhythms in cyclists using an auditory oddball task, finding increased N1 amplitude in heavy traffic.
