Sorry to be that guy but...

Danish study warns traffic noise ~~is killing people~~ correlates with increased mortality

It's worth emphasizing that people are probably not being killed directly by noise. People who live near car noise probably live near cars. I imagine these cars are killing people more by violence, pollution/particulate, etc. than by noise alone.
