EEA: Transport Noise Causes 66,000 Premature Deaths Annually in Europe

The European Environment Agency's 2025 report quantifies the health burden of transport noise, attributing 66,000 premature deaths, 50,000 new cardiovascular cases, and 22,000 type 2 diabetes cases per year in Europe. This positions noise as a major environmental health threat alongside air pollution, though it remains under-discussed. The figures are based on EEA modeling and may undercount actual exposure due to data gaps.
