In a survey of 2,312 residents living near Frankfurt Airport aircraft noise annoyance and disturbances as well as environmental (EQoL) and health-related quality of life (HQoL) were assessed and compared with data on exposure due to aircraft, road traffic, and railway noise. Results indicate higher noise annoyance than predicted from general exposure-response curves. Beside aircraft sound levels source-related attitudes were associated with reactions to aircraft noise. Furthermore, aircraft noise affected EQoL in general, although to a much smaller extent. HQoL was associated with aircraft noise annoyance, noise sensitivity and partly with aircraft noise exposure, in particular in the subgroup of multimorbid residents. The results suggest a recursive relationship between noise and health, yet this cannot be tested in cross-sectional studies. Longitudinal studies would be recommendable to get more insight in the causal paths underlying the noise-health relationship.
在一项针对居住在法兰克福机场附近的 2312 名居民的调查中，评估了飞机噪音干扰和环境（EQoL）以及与健康相关的生活质量（HQoL），并将其与因飞机、道路交通和铁路噪音而产生的暴露数据进行了比较。结果表明，居民的噪音烦恼程度高于一般暴露-反应曲线预测的水平。除了飞机的声音水平外，与声源有关的态度也与对飞机噪音的反应有关。此外，飞机噪音总体上影响了 EQoL，尽管影响程度要小得多。HQoL 与飞机噪音烦恼、噪音敏感性有关，部分与飞机噪声暴露有关，特别是在多病居民亚组中。研究结果表明，噪音和健康之间存在一种递归关系，但这在横断面研究中是无法检验的。建议进行纵向研究，以更深入地了解噪声-健康关系的潜在因果关系。
