Booming, buzzing, screeching: everyone knows that noise is annoying.

But persistent noise pollution can even promote specific diseases.

Noise automatically puts the body on alert.

For example, blood pressure increases and stress hormones are activated.

If noise becomes a permanent condition, chronic diseases can develop.

The German Society for Psychosomatic Medicine and Medical Psychotherapy (DGPM) points this out.

The occasion is the day against noise on April 27th.

Persistent noise pollution promotes the occurrence of high blood pressure and cardiovascular diseases as well as type 2 diabetes. Mental illnesses can also be a consequence of constant noise.

When environmental noise invades feelings and thoughts, disrupting sleep and rest, anger, exhaustion and stress symptoms arise.

This promotes the development of depression over time.

According to the DGPM, people are primarily annoyed by aircraft noise, followed by street, neighbourhood, industrial and railway noise.

The noise is often combined with air pollution, such as fine dust.

This can also trigger inflammatory processes in the blood that

interact with depression.
