Keith %J Archive of "Noise & Health". %D 2017 %R 10.4103/nah.NAH_15_17 %X Epidemiological studies have suggested an association between the relative risk for developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and long-term exposure to elevated levels of transportation noise. The contention is that this association is largely owing to an increase in stress-related biomarkers that are thought to be associated with CVD. Animal models have demonstrated that acute noise exposure is capable of triggering a stress response; however, similar studies using chronic noise models are less common %K Cardiovascular disease %K hypertension %K noise stress %K stress hormones %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5644380/
