This paper summarizes the presently available knowledge about the association between
low-frequency noise and its effects on health. A database was constructed with a total of 142 articles
published between 2016 and 2019 regarding low-frequency noise exposure and its effects on health.
A total of 39 articles were analysed in depth. The articles were divided into categories according to
the effects on human health addressed. Regarding the emitting source, there was a greater number
of articles addressing issues related to sources of environmental noise and noise from wind turbines.
As for the effects generated on human health, there was a greater number of articles referring to the
effects on sleep disorders, discomfort, sensitivity to and irritability from noise, annoyance, hearing
loss, and cardiovascular diseases, and these effects are analysed in more detail in the present article.
