Abstract:
Indoor noise comes from the emission of outdoor noise and indoor sources of noise. The adverse effects of indoor noise on human health include noise-induced hearing loss, interference with communication, sleep disturbance, cardiovascular effects, annoyance responses, performance reduction and so on. To reduce indoor noise and protect the public health, actions such as monitoring, assessment, developing criteria and noise control techniques, should be taken.
