(WikiDoc) - If constant honking, blaring sirens and noisy traffic stress you out, they could really be doing a number on your heart. Swedish researchers found folks who live with constant road noise are 40 percent more likely to suffer a myocardial infarction. Researchers say those most at risk live with a steady backdrop of about 50 decibels, or the the equivalent of a moderate rainfall. The researchers say the noise-heart attack link was independent of other factors like air pollution.
