(2000) stated that, the health implications of noise are the health
consequences of elevated sound levels. Elevated in sawmill or at work place or
other noise can cause hearing loss or impairment, hypertension, annoyance and
sleep disturbance. Noise pollution could take a severe toll on human health in
the long run. The effects will become apparent immediately but there could be
repercussion later on.

World
Health Organization [WHO, 1990] concluded that available evidence showed
suggested a week correlation between long-term noise exposure bode 67-70 dB and
hypertension.

Mental Health
The most immediate effect of noise is a
deterioration of mental health for example, people who are living too close to
the saw-mills will probably be quite jumpy.

Noise pollution can cause temporary
deafness in a period of time, if the noise pollution continues as it helplessly
does in any sawmill (Nwachukwu, 2009)

Noise pollution is known to increase digestive
spasms due to high level of sound and this could be the precursor of chronic gastro-intestinal
problem (Barksolate, 2011)

Maschke (2003) revealed that fairly
typical roadway noise level is sufficient to constrict arterial blood flow and
to elevate blood pressure in this case. It may result to annoyance from the
sound cause elevated adrenaline level trigger a narrowing of blood vessels
(vasoconstriction) or independently through medical stress reaction.

Noise pollution is a deterioration of
the ability to hear things clearly. It also increases the high level of
headache, fatigue, stomach ulcer etc.
