Airplane noise can raise blood pressure
Living near an airport isn't just annoying, but it can raise your blood pressure, according to a new study. The louder the noise, the higher the blood pressure went in the study subjects. Night time aircraft noise was found to be a major issue.The researchers used recorders to study people who lived near Heathrow Airport and found that the Decibel level, not the origin of the sound, was the key factor, with airplanes having the most significant impact.
