Validation of a Numerical Model for the Prediction of the Annoyance Condition at the Operator Station of Construction Machines

Applied Sciences, 2016
It is well-known that the reduction of noise levels is not strictly linked to the reduction of noise annoyance. Even earthmoving machine manufacturers are facing the problem of customer complaints concerning the noise quality of their machines with ...

Investigation of occupational noise annoyance in a wind turbine power plant

Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control, 2019
Noise, emitted by wind turbines, is one of the main health risk factors which has been recently considered in many researches. Noise annoyance is among the most important human responses to noise.

Evaluation of annoyance from low frequency noise under laboratory conditions

Noise and Health, 2010
The aim of the study was to investigate the annoyance of low frequency noise (LFN) at levels normally prevailing at workplaces in control rooms and office-like areas. Two different laboratory experiments were carried out. The first experiment included 55

Determining the direction of causality between psychological factors and aircraft noise annoyance

Noise and Health, 2010
In this paper, an attempt is made to establish the direction of causality between a range of psychological factors and aircraft noise annoyance. For this purpose, a panel model was estimated within a structural equation modeling approach.

Remote Working in the COVID-19 Pandemic: Results From a Questionnaire on the Perceived Noise Annoyance

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021
Noisiness in the working environment was largely proved to have effects on the working activity and performance. To limit the spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first wave between March and May 2020, Italian workers had massively started ...

Short-term noise annoyance towards drones and other transportation noise sources: A laboratory study.

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Noise from unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly referred to as "drones," will likely shape our acoustic environment in the near future. Yet, reactions of the population to this new noise source are still little explored.

Contributors to Neighbour Noise Annoyance

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
Noise from neighbours has been shown to be one of the most noise annoying sources in Germany, but research on the influencing factors for the annoyance ratings is scarce.

A study on the conversion relationship of noise perceived annoyance and psychoacoustic annoyance—a case of substation noise

Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control, 2022
The level of annoyance is an important basis to determine the acceptable degree of noise and develop noise standards. Psychoacoustic annoyance ( PA ) calculated by Zwicker’s model and perceived annoyance (such as mean annoyance, MA and the percentage of ...

A survey on exposure-response relationships for road, rail, and aircraft noise annoyance: Differences between continuous and intermittent noise.

Environment International, 2019
The aim of the present study is to establish exposure-response relationships reflecting the percentage highly annoyed (%HA) as functions of road traffic, railway, and aircraft noise exposure, measured as day-evening-night level (Lden), as well as to ...

Self-rated health status in relation to aircraft noise exposure, noise annoyance or noise sensitivity: the results of a cross-sectional study in France

BMC Public Health, 2021
Background Noise is a major public health issue because of its negative impacts on health, including annoyance, sleep disturbance, cardiovascular diseases and altered cognitive performance among children. Self-rated health status (SRHS) can be considered
