Environmental Health Disparities: A Framework Integrating Psychosocial and Environmental Concepts
TL;DR: It is suggested that psychosocial stress may be the vulnerability factor that links social conditions with environmental hazards, and that residential segregation leads to differential experiences of community stress, exposure to pollutants, and access to community resources.

What is soundscape ecology? An introduction and overview of an emerging new science
TL;DR: Soundscape ecology as discussed by the authors is a new area of research focusing on how sound from various sources (biological, geophysical and anthropogenic) can be used to understand coupled natural-human dynamics across different spatial and temporal scales.

Urban bioacoustics: it's not just noise
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that noise is not the only aspect of urban bioacoustics that researchers should explore, and suggest that urban areas are a fruitful area for future research on the evolution of animal communication systems, with more general implications for conservation in human-altered environments.

The impact of the physical and urban environment on mental well-being.
TL;DR: The need to intervene on both design and social features of residential areas to promote mental well-being is highlighted, with neighbour noise, sense of over-crowding in the home and escape facilities such as green spaces and community facilities, and fear of crime being highlighted.
