Death on a large scale? This is the first time I’m hearing of this and I’d be interested to read more. Do you happen to have a study or something I can read?

  here's something https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/36/39/2653/2398234 https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/36/39/2653/239823... or this https://forcetechnology.com/en/articles/traffic-noise-dangerous-health-what-to-do-about-it https://forcetechnology.com/en/articles/traffic-noise-danger... 200-500 annual Danish deaths related to road noise pollution. Thats more than the number of people killed in traffic yearly.

    I'm curious, how do we differentiate dying from noise pollution because you live close to a major throughway vs dying from the regular pollution that you're breathing in because you live close to a major throughway?

      You try to control for statistical variables like pollution, occupation, and personal habits. I don't know anything about medical statistics, so I'm just accepting the conclusions of the road noise research. This paper should be helpful if you want to dig into the methodology one can use. https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/32/6/737/497025 https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/32/6/737/497025
