TLDR
The evidence of an association between transportation noise and cardiovascular risk has increased since the previous review published in Noise and Health in the year 2000 and risk estimates derived from the individual studies are given.Abstract:
The review provides an overview of epidemiological studies that were carried out in the field of community noise and cardiovascular risk. The studies and their characteristics are listed in the tables. Risk estimates derived from the individual studies are given for 5 dB(A) categories of the average A-weighted sound pressure level during the day. The noise sources considered in the studies are road and aircraft noise. The health endpoints are mean blood pressure, hypertension and ischaemic heart disease, including myocardial infarction. Study subjects are children and adults. The evidence of an association between transportation noise and cardiovascular risk has increased since the previous review published in Noise and Health in the year 2000.read more

TL;DR: Excess risks of hypertension related to long-term noise exposure are indicated, primarily for night-time aircraft noise and daily average road traffic noise.

The quantitative relationship between road traffic noise and hypertension: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis was carried out in order to derive a quantitative exposure–response relationship between the exposure to road traffic noise and the prevalence of hypertension, and to gain some insight into the sources of heterogeneity among study results.

TL;DR: Exposure to residential road traffic noise was associated with a higher risk of diabetes in the population-based Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort, providing further evidence that urban noise may adversely influence population health.

TL;DR: The results lend some support to the hypothesis that long-term exposure to road traffic noise increases the risk for myocardial infarction.
