NORAH Knowledge
The series of brochures "NORAH Knowledge" provides comprehensible and exhaustive information on the NORAH Study.
NORAH Knowledge No. 14
Overview of results
A total of five sub-studies form the core of the NORAH Study. Each one built on the current international state of research. In addition to this, extremely complex and innovative techniques were used to calculate the acoustic exposure. In this edition of “NORAH Knowledge” we present the most important results of the entire NORAH Study.

Results of the NORAH Child Study
What impact does aviation noise have on the development and quality of life of children? The NORAH Child Study examined this question. The scientists concentrated on learning to read, the health and well-being of the children at school as well as the noise exposure when learning at home or at school.

NORAH Knowledge No. 3
NORAH noise impact study: an overview
NORAH Knowledge No. 3 presents the entire NORAH Study. The study examines the long-term effects of traffic noise on health, quality of life and childhood development in the Rhine-Main Region. It is thus dedicated to topical questions which international noise impact research is also working on.

NORAH Knowledge No. 2
Sound and noise – the principles of acoustics
In this issue of “NORAH Knowledge” we present the methods which the acoustic experts on the NORAH team used to calculate address-specific values for the aviation, road and rail traffic noise exposure in the whole investigation area – and not only for the current situation, but also in some cases going back over the last 18 years.

NORAH Knowledge No. 1
Child Study: Effects of aviation noise exposure on children
How does aviation noise affect the development of children? The scientists pursue this question in the child study. At the centre of the study is the intellectual development of the children. Here the scientists concentrate in particular on learning to read and the linguistic skills. They also investigate how aviation noise affects the wellbeing of children at school and at home.
