Noise annoyance

According to World Health Organization, the excessive noise seriously harms human health and interferes with people's daily activities at school, at work, at home and during leisure time. It can disturb sleep, cause cardiovascular and psychophysiological effects, reduce performance and provoke annoyance responses and changes in social behaviour". The reduction of noise pollution is therefore a major challenge for society.
