TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the costs of everyday residential noise pollution using a series of happiness regressions and found that perceived noise pollution had a negative and highly significant effect on happiness.
Abstract: This analysis examines the costs of everyday residential noise pollution using a series of “happiness regressions.” We control for both the possibility that an unobservable characteristic may cause omitted variable bias, as well as for the possibility of endogeneity bias if “effort” is not adequately taken into account. We find perceived noise pollution to exert a negative and highly significant effect on happiness. We then calculate the required income transfer to compensate for the noise and find the costs of noise pollution to be on the order of €172 per month per household.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured sound levels in three urban protected areas in metropolitan Boston, MA (USA) at three time periods: in the fall and summer before the pandemic, immediately after the government-imposed lockdown in March 2020 when the trees were leafless, and during the beginning of reopening in early June 2020 when trees had leaves.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that anthropogenic noise causes physiological responses in fishes during embryogenesis and these changes have direct impacts on their development and these alterations may have carry-over effects to later life stages.

TL;DR: The authors reviewed the correspondence between aircraft noise exposure and annoyance responses reported in aircraft noise study analyses undertaken over a period of decades and found that the statistical evidence for an upward trend in annoyance versus noise exposure is weak, and may simply be due to sampling and/or methodological differences between the studies.
