Research has shown that noise from airplanes and helicopters flying overhead is far more bothersome to people than noise from other modes of transportation, and a growing body of research suggests that aircraft noise is also contributing to negative health outcomes.

WEDNESDAY, May 3, 2023 (HealthDay News) -- Add airplane noise to the list of issues keeping people up at night, at least for those who live near U.S. airports.

According to a recent study, those who were exposed to even moderate levels of aircraft noise had a higher risk of not getting the minimum amount of sleep recommended each night. This risk was also higher for those who lived in the Western United States, close to a significant cargo airport, close to a sizable body of water, and for those without hearing loss.

A new study has found that people who were exposed to even moderate levels of aircraft noise were less likely to receive the minimum recommended amount of sleep each night, and this risk increased among people living in the Western U.S., near a major cargo airport, or near a large water body, and among people with no hearing loss.

The study found that exposure to plane noise levels as low as 45 db could increase the likelihood of sleeping less

The study reveals those who were exposed to airplane noise at levels as low as 45 dB had a higher likelihood of sleeping less than 7 hours every night.  

A study published last month in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives found women who were exposed to even quiet airplane noises were more likely to get less than seven hours of sleep a night.

Exposure to even moderate levels of airplane noise can make it hard for you to get the recommended seven hours of sleep, a new study shows.
