Tue, 29 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.bruitparif.fr/en/news/air-noise-new-stations Road, rail and air traffic: there are many noise sources, especially in highly urbanised areas such as Ile-de-France. The population is subjected permanently to noise and, due to the extent of the urban fabric, it is difficult to avoid it. Beyond hearing effects, many studies have shown that environmental noise exposures are related to non-auditory effects such as sleep disturbance, annoyance and cardiovascular diseases.
