Resumen
This work aims to gather scientific evidence about the impact of noise on public health. The effect of noise on the cardiovascular system and specifically on hypertension and heart disease, its relation to metabolic diseases, the subjective or objective quality of sleep, and the risk of developing cancer, have been examined. The psychological and cognitive effects of noise have also been investigated. Special attention has been paid to childhood as a vulnerable group. As for the noise mechanism, the noise damage appears to be due to the HPA axis and ac-tivation of the sympathetic system due to stress hormones, oxidative stress and inflammation. Based on current evidence, the development of long-term strategies and directive policies for public health is considered necessary.
