The goal of the study was the differential description of the heart rate regulatory mechanisms of young men and productivity of task performance during sensory-motor and psychoemotional load on the background of high frequency (4000-8000 Hz) sound exposure. Analysis of statistical and spectral components of the heart rate variability was done for description of heart rate regulatory mechanisms. Sensory-motor and psychoemotional load was studied with Landolt rings. The study was a community trial and performed by single blind method, on volunteer young men (age 18-22, n=22). From the results of the study it may be concluded that during high frequency sound exposure, quality of sensory-motor and psychoemotional task performance deteriorates. In individuals with initial domination of sympathetic part of vegetative nervous system during high frequency sound exposure and sensory-motor load, sympathetic domination decreases, but during complex tasks of identification and selection, initially dominant sympathetic effects on heart increases, which creates starting conditions for regulatory mechanisms overload mode.
