Title The extra-aural effect of noise - a literature survey
Original title Die extraaurale Wirkung von Lärm - eine Literaturübersicht [in German]
Bibliographic information Nov. 1986, Vol.33, No.6, p.151-159. 148 ref.
Abstract 148 selected publications on predominantly extra-aural effects of noise were evaluated. In particular, those publications were dealt with which contain a starting-point for further research. Older publications were cited if more recent sources of information were not available. Research on endocrinological reactions is often interpreted differently because an isolation of the stress factor due to noise is difficult. These results are partially contradictory because of differences in external conditions, test groups and motivations for participation. There were often only a small number of persons tested, making the design and analysis of the test results not comparable in a methodical and statistical manner.
