However, due to the sense of the human being is very complicated basically and be including delicate elements, there is a limit to express it in a word. Also, idling noise might be giving a stress to our body, without feeling it. Then, several studies have been made on physiological information receive the response of a human being objectively, tried to evaluate the load of a body. Electrocardiogram (ECG) and respiratory curve were measured to examine the influence that the disclosure of idling noise exerts on the autonomic nervous system function in this study. Heart rate variability (HRV) was obtained from ECG and respiratory frequency was obtained from respiratory curve in the analysis. Seven subjects were adult males who were healthy hearing. We investigated the result with considering the differences by 4 kinds of noise and 2 kinds of sound pressure.
