Neighbour noise annoyance and psychiatric diseases
AbstractData from a national sample survey (interview data) were used to test for possible correlations between different measures of noise annoyance and measures of psychiatric problems/diseases. The test was accomplished by crosstab programme for correlation between variables. The main variables were noise annoyance from different sources and psychiatric problems/diseases. Age and sex were used as covariables. A correlation was shown between neighbour noise annoyance and various indicators of self-reported psychiatric problems/diseases in the middle age groups, more prevalent and stronger for women than for men. The results, in accordance with research in other countries, indicate that people with psychiatric problems/diseases are more sensitive towards neighbour noise than the rest of the population. The same survey and the same method showed only low or no correlation between other sources of noise annoyance and psychiatric diseases.
