TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - Effects of jet aircraft noise on mental hospital admissions JO - British journal of audiology A1 - Meecham, W. C. A1 - Smith, H. G. SP - 81 EP - 85 VL - 11 IS - 3 N2 - We study, in the vicinity of Los Angeles International Airport, the effect of jet noise on mental hospital admissions. The maximum noise area (where the maximum fly-over noise exceeds 90 dBA) shows a 29% increase in admissions over those of a corresponding control area, as like the target area as possible, except that in the control area jet noise is not a dominant factor. The results are similar to those of a previous study carried out near Heathrow Airport.
