- Acute effects occur when activities such as concentration, relaxation or sleep are disturbed.
- Even subjects living for many years in exposed homes show physiological stress reactions.
- During sleep no complete habituation takes place. Even subjects who are subjectively disturbed by the noise show acute physiological reactions to single noise events.
Maschke, 2004
Why is noise a problem?

DALYs or Dollars?DALYs or Dollars?
Common procedures for assessment of benefits
• Contingent valuation (willingness to pay)Benefit of 25 € per household per decibel per year above noise levels of 50-55 dB Lden
(Example tyre noise study: quieter tyres could produce benefits to the public of about 48 and 123 billion €)
• Hedonic pricingData from real estate market; lower value of properties exposed to higher noise levels. Best estimate: House prices lose 0.5% (range: 0.2% - 1.5%) of their value per decibel over 50-55 dB Lden
