... However, newer studies suggest there may be a potential relationship between aviation noise levels and hypertension or ischemic heart disease at noise levels as low as 50 dBA Leq. Despite decades of research, including review of old data and multiple new research efforts, health effects of aviation noise continue to be complicated and the need for additional SUMMARY EFFECTS OF AIRCRAFT NOISE: RESEARCH UPDATE ON SELECTED TOPICS

... This synthesis report includes annotation of 12 recent reports on annoyance and aviation noise. • Chapter Four -- Sleep Disturbance and Aviation Noise Sleep disturbance is a common effect described by most noise-exposed populations and their complaints are often very strong, especially in the vicinity of airports.

... The research on urban parks that has been done in Europe indicates that users consider noise a very important factor in park enjoyment, but that park users judge sounds differently based on whether the noise is an expected or unexpected part of the park environment. This synthesis report includes annotation of nine recent reports on aviation noise and parks, open space, and wilderness.

... Among the outstanding issues are what metrics to use to describe low frequency noise and what noise levels are compatible with residential land uses. This synthesis report includes annotation of eight recent reports on aviation low frequency noise and vibration.

... Current research includes highly technically complex studies analyzing how sound levels increase as the refractive curvature goes from negative to positive values; ground effects on propagation and infrasound propagation. Research indicates that large-scale turbulence is a significant cause of acoustic signal fluctuations, particularly in the signal phase.
