The effects of in-cabin aircraft noise on cognition and performance remains largely unknown. The present study describes three applied experiments articulating the effect of in-cabin aircraft noise on cognition and performance. Noise at levels present during cruise are shown to adversely affect recognition and dynamic decision-making performance. These effects adversely affect safety.
