Night noise affects well-being Environmental noise can have negative effects on human health and well-being. The World Health Organization, concerned about the health effects of the exposure to night-time noise, publishes guidelines for night noise for European countries. According to the WHO website, “ … annual average night exposure should not exceed 40 decibels (dB), corresponding to the sound from a qui- et street in a residential area. Persons exposed to higher levels over the year can suffer mild health effects such as sleep disturbance and insomnia. Long-term average exposure to levels above 55 dB, similar to the noise from a busy street, can trigger elevated blood pressure and heart attacks.” Going Green WHO researchers estimate that one in five Europeans is regularly exposed to sound exceeding 55dB at USAG Stuttgart Directorate of Public Works night.
