**5. Conclusions**

In conclusion, exposing rats to long-term aircraft noise affects their behavior, specifically in the form of inhibiting mobility and increasing anxiety. Our data indicate that scrum NE levels of rats increase as a result of aircraft noise exposure. Furthermore, our findings indicate that aircraft noise exposure leads to damage of neuronal and synaptic structures of the temporal lobe in rats. Nevertheless, additional studies are necessary to further investigate the mecha‐ nisms involved.

Of course, there are some differences in the hearing sensitivity to different sound frequencies and circadian rhythms between rats and humans, which can bring variances in physiological effects under the same noise exposure. Therefore, it should be further confirmed if these study results are applied into humans.
