2020-01-10Adverse Cardiovascular Effects of Traffic Noise with a Focus on Nighttime Noise and the New WHO Noise Guidelines
A comprehensive review examining the cardiovascular health impacts of traffic noise exposure, with particular emphasis on nighttime noise effects. The study discusses WHO guidelines, mechanistic pathways involving oxidative stress and vascular dysfunction, and epidemiological evidence linking noise exposure to heart disease, stroke, and other cardiometabolic conditions. -
Are the airplanes getting louder and lower?
No. And maybe. Objectively speaking, individual aircraft flyovers near Sea-Tac Airport are not getting lower or louder. (Before you click away in disgust, note that some of our members live as low as ‘760’, ie. when correcting for sea level less than 400 feet directly under the belly of an aircraft. No one is more -

Burien fought the FAA over airplane noise and won, so far
Residents teamed up with the City of Burien to fight the FAA over airplane noise and won, at least so far. Neighbors noticed an increase in airplane noise last summer and say the FAA started diverting jet propeller planes from Sea-Tac to the west over Burien, when take-off was to the north. Residents complained about
