Lowering urban speed limits to 30 km/h reduces noise annoyance and shifts exposure-response relationships: Evidence from a field study in Zurich.

Environment International, 2022
BACKGROUND The city of Zurich progressively pursuits a strategy of reducing road traffic noise by lowering the speed limit to 30 km/h on street sections that exceed the legal noise limits.

Effects of Soundscape Complexity on Urban Noise Annoyance Ratings: A Large-Scale Online Listening Experiment

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022
Noise annoyance has been often reported as one of the main adverse effects of noise exposure on human health, and there is consensus that it relates to several factors going beyond the mere energy content of the signal.

A study on the assessment of traffic noise induced annoyance and awareness levels about the potential health effects among residents living around a noise-sensitive area

Environmental science and pollution research international, 2021
The present cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the risk factors for traffic noise–induced annoyance and also assess the awareness levels among the exposed population concerning the health impacts caused by traffic noise. Field measurements were made

Road traffic noise, noise sensitivity, noise annoyance, psychological and physical health and mortality

Environmental Health, 2020
Background Both physical and psychological health outcomes have been associated with exposure to environmental noise. Noise sensitivity could have the same moderating effect on physical and psychological health outcomes related to environmental noise ...

Understanding the relationship between air traffic noise exposure and annoyance in populations living near airports in France

Environment International, 2020
Since the 2000s, increased aircraft noise annoyance has been observed in the populations living near airports. The DEBATS-study compared the exposure–response relationship estimated among airports’ residents in France with old and new EU standard curves.

The relative effects of self-reported noise and odour annoyance on psychological distress: Different effects across sociodemographic groups?

PLoS ONE, 2021
In earlier research, both higher levels of noise and odour annoyance have been associated with decreased mental health. Presumably, these perceptions can trigger feelings of threat and stress reactions and in turn evoke psychological distress.

Joint Analysis of Resident Complaints, Meteorological, Acoustic, and Ground Motion Data to Establish a Robust Annoyance Evaluation of Wind Turbine Emissions

Social Science Research Network, 2022
, , In order to advance the expansion of onshore wind energy, wind turbines (WTs) must be erected in often complex terrain. The orography and the associated meteorological conditions, as well as the complex propagation of sound and ground motion waves ...
