The effects of environmental noise were estimated from automatic computer-assisted analyses of voice samples. Signals consisted of a live voice sample and a synthesized triangular waveform. Noise was generated from a personal computer fan. Six different A-weighted signal-to-noise [S/N(A)] conditions were created for the live voice and synthetic signal—

Abstract Noise contamination can be defined quite simply as unwanted sound. At high sound pressure levels it can cause temporary and/or permanent losses in our capacity to hear and/or understand speech and in our ability to hear and enjoy music. At lower sound pressure levels it can still be a significant environmental sensory stress.

Noise sensitivity and reactions to noise and other environmental conditions
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2003This article integrates findings from the literature and new results regarding noise sensitivity. The new results are based on analyses of 28 combined datasets (N=23 038), and separate analyses of a large aircraft noise study (N=10 939). Three topics regarding noise sensitivity are discussed, namely, its relationship with noise exposure, its working ...

Environmental noise, sleep and health
Sleep Medicine Reviews, 2007Unlike other physical ambient factors (i.e. electromagnetic fields or air pollutants), noise is perceived by a specific system (auditory system) in humans. It is therefore a phenomenon that is sensed and evaluated by everybody, and this is why exposure to noise is one of the most, if not the most, frequent complaints of populations living in large ...

Environmental issues: signals in the noise?
Progress in Human Geography, 2004It is a peculiar fact that while the natural environment is one of geography's key research and teaching foci, it is difficult to specify what the discipline's distinctive contributions to environmental understanding are. In part, this is because geographical research on the environment remains theoretically and empirically diverse, indeed fragmented ...

Environmental noise in Beijing
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004Beijing is a city under rapid development. More than 60% of the complaints on the environment comes from noise pollution. With a road system of total length of 4200 km and thousands of construction sites, road traffic, and construction are the most important noise sources in Beijing. One third of its population of nearly 14 million inhabitants and more

Noise generation and perception are highly related to given societies, so in order to improve the acoustic quality of life for communities, it is necessary to include noise items in formal education. The American States Organization is doing research on the relation of science, technology, society, and values to help implement programs to set these ...

In order to evaluate the need for noise measures as well as the improvement that can be obtained with different measures, there is a need for a system that rates environmental noise on the basis of noise maps. Based on empirical exposure-response relationships, a rating system and a stepwise procedure for its implementation have been developed.

Severe noise problems involving a small number of people can often be solved following a detailed examination of the factors involved. At very least, provided the necessary resources are available, the noise source and the offended people can usually be separated by distance or by sound insulation.
