: This paper describes a systematic review and meta-analyses on effects of environmental noise on annoyance. The noise sources include aircraft, road, and rail transportation noise as well as wind turbines and noise source combinations. Update knowledge about effects of environmental noise on people living in the vicinity of noise sources. Eligible were published studies (2000-2014) providing comparable acoustical and social survey data including exposure-response functions between standard indicators of noise exposure and standard annoyance responses. The systematic literature search in 20 data bases resulted in 62 studies, of which 57 were used for quantitative meta-analyses. By means of questionnaires sent to the study authors, additional study data were obtained. Risk of bias was assessed by means of study characteristics for individual studies and by funnel plots to assess the risk of publication bias. Tentative exposure-response relations for percent highly annoyed residents (%HA) in relation to noise levels for aircraft, road, rail, wind turbine and noise source combinations are presented as well as meta-analyses of correlations between noise levels and annoyance raw scores, and the OR for increase of %HA with increasing noise levels. Quality of evidence was assessed using the GRADE terminology. The evidence of exposure-response relations between noise levels and %HA is moderate (aircraft and railway) or low (road traffic and wind turbines). The evidence of correlations between noise levels and annoyance raw scores is high (aircraft and railway) or moderate (road traffic and wind turbines). The evidence of ORs representing the %HA increase by a certain noise level increase is moderate (aircraft noise), moderate/high (road and railway traffic), and low (wind turbines). The strength of the evidence is seen in the large total sample size encompassing the included studies (e.g., 18,947 participants in aircraft noise studies). Main limitations are due to the variance in the definition of noise levels and %HA. The increase of %HA in newer studies of aircraft, road and railway noise at comparable levels of earlier studies point to the necessity of adjusting noise limit recommendations. The review was funded by WHO Europe.
这篇论文描述了一项系统综述和荟萃分析，探讨环境噪声对烦恼的影响。噪声源包括飞机、道路和铁路交通噪声以及风力涡轮机和噪声源组合。更新关于生活在噪声源附近的人们受到环境噪声影响的知识。纳入标准为 2000 年至 2014 年期间发表的研究，这些研究提供了可比较的声学和社会调查数据，包括标准噪声暴露指标与标准烦恼反应之间的暴露-反应函数。在 20 个数据库中进行的系统文献检索共产生了 62 项研究，其中 57 项用于定量荟萃分析。通过向研究作者发送调查问卷，获得了额外的研究数据。通过个别研究的研究特征和漏斗图评估偏倚风险，以评估发表偏倚的风险。本文还提出了飞机、道路、铁路、风力涡轮机和噪声源组合的噪声水平与高烦恼居民比例（%HA）之间的暂定暴露-反应关系，以及噪声水平与烦恼原始分数之间的相关性的荟萃分析，以及噪声水平增加时%HA 增加的比值比（OR）。使用 GRADE 术语评估证据质量。噪声水平与%HA 之间的暴露-反应关系的证据为中度（飞机和铁路）或低度（道路交通和风力涡轮机）。噪声水平与烦恼原始分数之间的相关性的证据为高度（飞机和铁路）或中度（道路交通和风力涡轮机）。代表特定噪声水平增加时%HA 增加的 OR 的证据为中度（飞机噪声）、中度/高度（道路和铁路交通）和低度（风力涡轮机）。证据的强度体现在纳入研究的总样本量很大（例如，飞机噪声研究中包含 18947 名参与者）。主要限制在于噪声水平和%HA 的定义存在差异。在飞机、道路和铁路噪声的新研究中，在可比水平上%HA 的增加表明需要调整噪声限值建议。该综述由世卫组织欧洲区域办事处资助。
