Aircraft noise 'link' to heart disease

The risks of stroke, heart and circulatory disease are higher in areas with a lot of aircraft noise, according to a study published in the British Medical Journal.

Researchers say the study of 3.6 million residents near Heathrow Airport suggested the risks were 10-20% higher in areas with the highest levels of aircraft noise.
