Exposure to aviation noise at night can impact physical and mental wellbeing and can increase the risk of daytime sleepiness, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.
The Aviation Night Noise Effects (ANNE) study is a two-part study examining the relationship between night-time aviation noise exposure, sleep disturbance and annoyance, and how this relationship varies at different times of night.
This research paper presents the findings of the first part of ANNE, the subjective study. It was a large-scale cross-sectional survey of residents living near 8 UK airports, assessing associations between night-time aircraft noise exposure and subjective sleep disturbance and annoyance.
We expect to publish the second part of ANNE, the objective study, later this year.
