The effects of broadband noise on the cardiovascular system on normal resting adults.
Blood pressure, pulse rate and pulse pressure were determined at 2-minute intervals on 20 healthy subjects while they were exposed to 91-dBA continuous broadband noise for 1 hour. Control data were obtained by replication without the noise. The noise produced no statistically significant changes in any of the cardiovascular parameters under study.
