Abstract
With the aim to identify recent research achievements, current trends in research, remaining gaps of knowledge and priority areas of future research in the field of non-auditory health effects of noise, recent research progress was reviewed. A search was performed in PubMed (search terms “noise AND health”), for peer reviewed journal articles, published between 1 January 2014 and 1 January 2017 in English. Resulting references were screened for relevance by title and abstract where needed in case of doubt. Inclusion criteria: Original research papers on health effects of environmental or occupational noise exposure. Studies on auditory health effects (hearing loss) and animal studies were excluded. The search resulted in over 3000 references. A total number of about 150 papers was included in the review, 18 papers addressed mental health effects, a majority focused on (a wide range of) physiological health effects. A wealth of new research on non-auditory health effects of noise has been published over the last 3 years. Current trends, knowledge gaps and priority future research areas will be discussed.
