Transport noise is one of the most widespread environmental stressors in urban areas and poses a significant public health concern. Continuous exposure to elevated noise levels adversely affects both physical and mental health, contributing to the development of cardiovascular, neurological, and psychosomatic disorders. The present study aimed to conduct a hygienic assessment of long-term exposure to transport noise and its impact on the health status of urban residents. Noise levels were measured in residential areas with varying traffic intensity, and health indicators were evaluated using medical records and questionnaire surveys. The results demonstrated a direct association between chronic transport noise exposure and increased prevalence of hypertension, sleep disturbances, and stress-related conditions. The findings highlight the necessity of implementing effective hygienic and preventive measures to reduce transport noise and protect urban population health.References
