Dose-Response Relationship Between Aircraft Noise Exposure and Community Annoyance: A Case Study of Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveWith increasing air traffic, aircraft noise pollution near Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport has intensified, raising concerns about community annoyance. Compared with a 2012 study, community responses to aircraft noise may have evolved, necessitating an updated dose-response relationship. This study refines the dose-response relationship, investigates the influence of demographic factors (age and gender) on annoyance, and contextualizes findings within international comparisons.
methodsA face-to-face survey of 450 residents near Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport was conducted using the International Commission on Biological Effects of Noise standard questionnaire to assess noise annoyance. Noise levels were measured with a multifunctional sound level meter, and statistical analyses, including quadratic polynomial regression, Kruskal-Wallis H tests, and Spearman rank correlation, were applied to investigate the relationship between noise exposure and annoyance.
resultsThe proportion of highly annoyed residents increased by seven percentage points at the same noise exposure levels (Lden 61-72 dB) compared with 2012, reflecting a steeper dose-response curve. Older residents exhibited higher annoyance levels than younger individuals (Kruskal-Wallis H test: H = 32.390, P < 0.001), whereas gender differences were not statistically significant (Mann-Whitney U test: Z = -0.877, P = 0.380). Compared with European studies, Chinese residents reported higher annoyance at the same noise levels, likely influenced by cultural contexts, policy transparency, and urban infrastructure differences.
conclusionThis study provides updated empirical evidence on annoyance responses to aircraft noise, offering refined dose-response data and demographic insights. The findings serve as a scientific basis for policymakers to improve residential noise insulation, enhance compensation transparency, and establish structured community engagement mechanisms, contributing to more effective noise management strategies.
