Abstract

This study examines the impact of aircraft noise on annoyance and sleep disturbances among residents near Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from 2019 to 2023. It aims to assess the specific effects of aircraft noise exposure on sleep quality, as well as changes in exposure due to reduced air traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic. Surveys conducted before and during the pandemic revealed that, despite lower noise levels, residents continued to report high levels of annoyance, indicating a complex exposure-response relationship. This study evaluates both the impact of aircraft noise levels and the role of non-acoustic factors in mitigating sleep disturbances and shaping residents’ responses over time. The study’s findings support the applicability of WHO guidelines in this context and emphasize the importance of considering both noise reduction and community engagement in noise management strategies.
