Here's a non-science reference for what it's worth:

In Douglas Adam's book "Last Chance to See" he visits China where
researchers are studying the effects of noise pollution on the Yangtse
River dolphin.  Since this river is very muddy, visibility is low and
there is an increasing number of boat-dolphin incidents.  The book lists
the instutute in China researching this issue and that may provide a
starting point for further research.

FYI
"Last Chance to See" is an account of Douglas Adam's travels to China, the
Komodo Island, New Zealand and other places to see animals in danger of
extinction and via the book make others aware of some of the problems
involved.  The book isgeared toward non-scientists and extremely readable.
(BTW the author is the same one who the (fictional) Hitchhikers Guide
series.)
