ANNA

The Group ANNA (Aircraft Noise Non Acoustic) is an informal technical discussion group formed by worldwide specialists on different disciplines. Primarly focused on non acoustic effects of aircraft noise, is now also focused on Air Quality and Climate Change.

We can separate noise effects into two broad categories:

  • acoustic (noise-induced hearing loss) and
  • non acoustic (behavioral and physiological effects).

Behavioral effects are those that are associated with activity interference. This includes interference with communication, rest or and sleep, and learning; or that produces annoyance. Non acoustic physiological health effects include such things as cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
