Exploring the Relationship between Noise Sensitivity, Annoyance and
Health-Related Quality of Life in a Sample of Adults Exposed to Environmental
Noise
The relationship between environmental noise and health is poorly
understood but of fundamental importance to public health. This study
estimated the relationship between noise sensitivity, noise annoyance
and health-related quality of life in a sample of adults residing
close to the Auckland International Airport, New Zealand. A small
sample (n = 105) completed surveys measuring noise sensitivity, noise
annoyance, and quality of life. Noise sensitivity was associated
with health-related quality of life; annoyance and sleep disturbance
mediated the effects of noise sensitivity on health.
