2003-04-18The Effects of Aircraft Noise and Road Traffic Noise on Reading Comprehension and Attention: The Ranch Study
A European study called RANCH examined how aircraft and road traffic noise affects reading comprehension and attention in nearly 3,000 children aged 9-10 in the UK, Netherlands, and Spain. Results showed that higher aircraft noise exposure was significantly linked to poorer reading comprehension, while road traffic noise showed no such effect; neither type of noise impacted sustained attention. The findings suggest aircraft noise poses a greater risk to children's cognitive development than road traffic noise, with implications for school siting and noise exposure policies near airports. -
