Conclusion (the committee's words)
There is increasing epidemiological evidence of the harmful effects of noise on human health. Aggregated over the whole population, even small effects on the individual can be a significant public health concern. New evidence is likely to change the understanding of these effects, for example the role played by intermittency.
