What is it about?
The study is aimed to quantify the effects of social noise exposure (personal music players (PMP), events with high noise exposure) and the exposure to the other environmental noise sources in the selected sample of Slovak university students.

Why is it important?
In our study 79.4 % of respondents reported listening to personal music players (PMP) in the last week for the average time of 314 minutes. Among PMP users 28.1 % exceeded the LAV. University students from the traffic noise exposed group were listening to PMP more often than students from the control group (possibly trying to mask the effect of the other sources of environmental noise).
Perspectives
The results of the study showed the importance of road traffic and the social noise as well.
