Abstract
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.
