Pretty sure there was a study linking noise pollution to mental illness.
That sounds basically like linking mental illness to living in an urban area, since that's where most noise pollution would be. And at that point there's so many confounding variables I think it would be a struggle to make sure you're isolating your data to just looking at noise pollution as the independent variable.
There are quieter parts of urban areas and structures with better sound dampening. It's when you can't escape the cacophany that really sucks.
Fair enough
There are studies linking reduced academic performance to noise pollution (in one, students in classrooms that were subjected to noise from nearby elevated rails performed more poorly than students on the other side of the same building).
As far as mental health effects: the difference between normal ambient city noises and persistent, intrusive, and/or unpredictable noises can be dramatic—take it from someone who spent a year working nights and then coming home to all-day construction about thirty feet from my bedroom...
