Its rationale rests on two linked bodies of research: studies of transportation noise as an environmental cardiovascular risk factor, and studies of acoustic ("sound") masking as a non-pharmacological sleep aid. Nighttime traffic noise is thought to harm health indirectly, by fragmenting sleep and raising stress-hormone and oxidative-stress signaling, which in turn promote endothelial dysfunction, higher blood pressure, and inflammation. ## Its role in longevity A large epidemiological and mechanistic literature links chronic nighttime transportation noise to higher blood pressure and increased risk of ischemic heart disease, and human field and imaging studies show that simulated nocturnal traffic noise can acutely impair endothelial function and raise arterial pressure, plausibly through sleep fragmentation and stress-hormone and oxidative-stress pathways. On the masking side, a 2025 meta-analysis of 12 randomized trials found white noise improved subjective sleep quality in adults and prolonged sleep in infants, and laboratory studies show it reduces arousals in loud environments such as intensive care units. However, the most rigorous systematic review to date graded the evidence that continuous noise improves sleep as very low quality, and recent experimental work indicates that broadband noise is itself processed by the sleeping brain and can alter sleep architecture — in one study, earplugs outperformed noise masking against traffic noise — so masking is not physiologically neutral and is best reserved for genuinely noisy settings at low volume. Critically, this evidence concerns the underlying exposures, not this specific commercial device, and no study has tested whether masking traffic noise with a white-noise system reduces cardiovascular risk. ## Evidence grade: Emerging evidence - **What the grade means:** Curated grade based on the human and mechanistic evidence for this compound. - **What this grade does not say:** The most rigorous systematic review graded the evidence that continuous noise improves sleep as very low quality, and recent experiments found broadband noise can itself alter sleep architecture, with earplugs outperforming masking in one traffic-noise study. It may help in genuinely noisy settings — keep volume low (under ~50 dB) — but no study shows such a device improves long-term cardiovascular outcomes. ## In the news - **New research: Nighttime road traffic noise stresses the heart and blood vessels** — EurekAlert! (European Society of Cardiology) 2026 [Read it](https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1117746) > The randomised, double-blind crossover study of 74 healthy adults found that low-level nighttime road traffic noise impaired blood vessel function and raised heart rate, as well as disrupted sleep. - **Why White Noise May Help You Get Your Best Sleep Ever** — Healthline 2021 [Read it](https://www.healthline.com/health/sleep/why-white-noise-may-help-you-get-your-best-sleep-ever) > white noise significantly improved sleep for people who experience difficulty sleeping due to high levels of environmental noise. It concluded that the application of white noise may be an effective tool in helping to improve sleep in metropolitan areas. ## The research Peer-reviewed studies on the active compound.
