Noise 'maps'

show that the highest noise levels are usually found on roads

ignore variation in people's perceptions of noise
have made people realize that the noise is a 32. issue that must be dealt with

Problems caused by noise

increase in amount of stress
effect on the 33. of schoolchildren

what can be learnt from psychology about the effects of sound
whether physics can help us understand the 39. of sound
