This study investigates the significant influence of ambient noise on schoolchildren's learning, attention, and cognition, underscoring the critical challenges and potential limitations it poses to their academic progress. Cognitive assessments were conducted under prevailing noise and controlled conditions. Noise levels (L<sub>Aeq</sub>, L<sub>90</sub>, L<sub>10</sub>) were measured using a sound level metre (Kimo dB300) in classrooms of ten roadside schools. Findings reveal that noise levels exceed WHO thresholds for classroom environments. Statistical analyses (<i>z</i>-test, paired <i>t</i>-test, ANOVA, regression analysis) indicate significant differences in noise levels and cognitive test scores between both noise exposure conditions.

An electromagnetic shaker capable of producing the random vibration spectrum specified in ISO 10819 was hung overhead to deliver vibrations. Two passive, arm-supporting exoskeletons, with one (ExoVest) transferring load to both the shoulder and pelvic region while the second one (ExoStrap) transferring load primarily to the pelvic region, were used in testing.

The results collected from 6 healthy male subjects demonstrate the dominating effects of the overhead working posture on increased shoulder muscle activities. Vibration led to higher muscle activities in both agonist and antagonist shoulder muscles to a less extent. Exoskeleton use reduced the anterior deltoid and serratus anterior activities by 27% to 43%.
