Short-term loud noise may acutely raise BP in young men; hypothesis-generating for chronic hypertension risk.
Does short-term noise exposure increase blood pressure in young normotensive males?
Short-term intermittent noise exposure at 90-100 dB increases blood pressure primarily through increased peripheral vascular resistance, without suppressing baroreceptor reflex sensitivity.
Y. Sawada (1993) studied this question.
