[摘要] The Nobel Prize laureate Robert Koch is said to have predicted as early as 1910 that “One day man will have to fight noise as fiercely as plague and cholera” ( 1 ). The spectrum of disease has changed greatly over the past few decades, with the result that nontransmissible chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disorders make up a considerable part of the global disease burden ( 2 ). Although research efforts in recent years have focussed primarily on classic risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, and diabetes mellitus, recently published results point to the influence of environmental factors such as noise in the development of cardiovascular disease ( 3 ). Insights from epidemiological studies show that exposure to traffic noise (from aircraft, road vehicles, and trains) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality ( 4 , 5 ). In Europe, traffic noise is responsible for 18 000 premature deaths, 1.7 million cases of hypertension, and 80 000 hospitalizations each year ( 6 ).
