Background and Objective: Exposure to noise above the permissible occupational exposure limits in industrial environments, in addition to causing auditory effects, can also affect individuals' cognitive performance leading to individual errors and ultimately accidents. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of noise on the level aggression in industrial workers
Materials and Methods: The present study is cross-sectional. The research population consisted of female workers employed in a manufacturing industry in Bushehr province, from whom 161 individuals were selected voluntarily and after obtaining written consent through random sampling. The workers were divided into three groups according to the noise levels they were exposed to (the first group was exposed to noise below 75 dB, the second group to noise between 75 and 85 dB, and the third group to noise above 85 dB). The volunteers completed the Bass and Perry Aggression Questionnaire, The Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and the Weinstein sound sensitivity Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS 21 software and one-way analysis of variance, paired t-test, independent t-test, and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: The results showed that with increasing sound levels, aggression (0<001) increased.

Conclusion: The results indicated that exposure to noise above 85 dB increases aggressive behaviors in individuals and ultimately accidents in industries.
