Influence of Sound Physical Characteristics on Some Human Physiological Parameters

摘要

The influence of certain types of sounds as health hazards for human beings is a constant preoccupation for researchers during the last decades. Not only it is likely to inflict auditory effects but it is proven to produce other physiological as well as psychological effects upon people subjected to noise. Of course, not all types of sounds are damaging for health, their influence is strongly related to their physical characteristics like: frequency, intensity or harmony. Each change in these physical characteristics may produce different effects upon human health that can be monitored by help of several physiological parameters. As many researchers focused upon the auditory effects and psychological issues under the influence of noise, our team headed towards a less investigated aspect related to the risk of cardio-vascular diseases for persons subjected to unhealthy types of sounds, a risk which was mentioned in a thematic issue of the European Commission in 2015 and also some influences regarding posture control.
