摘要

本研究利用噪音申訴案件，對申訴人住家進行超低頻、低頻噪音量測同時，隨機取樣進行問卷調查，藉以瞭解對居民之可能生理影響已經比較申訴人的性別，女性人數遠高於男性，且年齡皆大於45歲，此結果與國外研究結果類似。依據問卷調查結果，低頻及超低頻噪音對於人體之生理反應主要為頭痛、焦慮及失眠，此三項有相關性，且與一般噪音反應類似，另有60%以上受訪者對低頻及超低頻噪音有肩膀痛及喉嚨痛的生理反應，一般噪音並無此反應，有待日後進一步研究。

When the infrasound and low frequency noise were measured indoors requested by petitioners, the questionnaires were implemented randomly at the same time in order to understand what kinds of human physiological influences by the low frequency noise. According to the statistic results, we found the number of female petitioners were much more than males. Moreover, the age of all petitioners was larger than 45 years old. These findings are similar as oversee researches.According to the questionnaires results, the main physiological reactions of the infrasound and low frequency noise were headache, anxiety and sleeplessness. These three reactions were related and similar as the reactions by general noise. Furthermore, Over 60% petitioners had shoulder-ache and throat-ache reactions which are different from general noise. It is worth to do the advanced research of the causes of these reactions in the future.
