Traffic noise and learning

PLOS Medicine: Exposure to road traffic noise and cognitive development in schoolchildren in Barcelona, Spain: A population-based cohort study

Conclusions

We observed that exposure to road traffic noise at school, but not at home, was associated with slower development of working memory, complex working memory, and attention in schoolchildren over 1 year. Associations with noise fluctuation indicators were more evident than with average noise levels in classrooms.
