Studies have examined whether environmental noise exposure is associated with psychiatric hospital admissions, use of medication, psychological symptoms, and psychiatric disorders measured by questionnaires and structured interviews. There is some evidence, although studies are not consistent, that environmental noise is associated with higher rates of minor psychiatric disorders. The lack of methodologically sound prospective studies means that further research is needed before definite conclusions can be reached on the link between noise and mental health.
