The effect of aircraft, road, and railway traffic noise on stroke - results of a case-control study based on secondary data.

Conclusion: This large case-control study indicates that traffic noise exposure may lead to an increase in stroke risk. It furthermore suggests that maximum aircraft noise levels at night increase the stroke risk even when continuous noise exposure is low, and thus highlights the relevance of maximum noise levels for research and policies on noise protection.
