Objective and subjective evaluation of the acoustic comfort in classrooms
Applied Ergonomics, 2007The acoustic comfort of classrooms in a Brazilian public school has been evaluated through interviews with 62 teachers and 464 pupils, measurements of background noise, reverberation time, and sound insulation. Acoustic measurements have revealed the poor acoustic quality of the classrooms. Results have shown that teachers and pupils consider the noise

Acoustic, thermal and luminous comfort in classrooms
Building and Environment, 2004Abstract Environmental comfort embodies four different research areas: thermal, luminic, acoustic and ergonomic comfort. However, regarding the built environment, architects and civil engineers should primarily concentrate their efforts on the first three, considering that ergonomic comfort is more related to designers.

Acoustic comfort at Kyiv metro stations
INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings, 2023Kyiv Metro was opened in 1960 and became the first metro system in Ukraine. From then until the beginning of the 21st century it was developing without considering the acoustic comfort of its passengers and employees. Increased levels of noise and vibration in public transport are mostly ignored, although they are certainly recognized as the reasons ...

Effects of individual sound sources on the subjective loudness and acoustic comfort in underground shopping streets [PDF]
Science of the Total Environment, 2012 Previous studies have demonstrated that human evaluation of subjective loudness and acoustic comfort depends on a series of factors in a particular situation rather than only on sound pressure levels.

Acoustic comfort in living environment
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2015As population of aging people growing fast, the need of long-term care facility is also increased. In the living environment of elder people, acoustic comfort has the same importance as thermal comfort and visual comfort. This research is to study the preference of acoustic comfort through the listening evaluation with normal hearing people.
