One subject in the aircraft noise exposed group consented but did not participate in the measurements. A p-value < 0.05 indicates values differ statistically significantly between the noise-exposed and control region. * Mann-Whitney-U Test; ^† Test of Equal Proportions with Yates’ continuity correction.
