Home appliance noise: annoyance and speech interference
Applied Ergonomics, 1975How annoying is appliance noise? How much does appliance noise interfere with speech? While listening to the noise from 10 different home appliances, eight subjects wrote the words being read to them. Then they voted their annoyance with each noise on a 5‐point scale.

Aircraft en route noise annoyance
13th Aeroacoustics Conference, 1990Results are reported from a laboratory experiment conducted in order to quantify the annoyance experienced by people on the ground in response to en route noise (ERN) generated by aircraft at cruise conditions. Objectives included the comparison of annoyance responses to ERN with the annoyance responses to takeoff and landing noise; the comparison of ...

Community annoyance by aircraft noise
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1993Rigorously designed social surveys, not public complaint actions, provide the most direct available evidence about the impact of environmental noise on residents. The balance of the available social survey evidence indicates that while personal attitudes affect noise annoyance, demographic characteristics and ambient noise levels do not affect ...

Community Annoyance with Transportation Noise
1979A comparison of the results from a number of social surveys on public response to transportation noise suggests that those studies agree sufficiently well with one another that a single relationship between noise exposure and annoyance can be determined that is valid for all kinds of transportation noise. A curve is proposed.

Spectrum contrast and noise annoyance
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1998According to the computational view, the identification of a sound event by the auditory system consists of processing the information it extracts from the temporal pattern and frequency spectrum. The fine structure of the frequency spectrum facilitates, among other things, the determination of the relative amplitudes of the partials.

Biological perspectives on noise annoyance
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1999For humans, annoying noise is any sound that ‘‘disturbs, displeases, troubles, or irritates.’’ In humans, the experience of annoyance is a metric, obtained by self-reporting. In animals, however, biologists can only measure behavioral reactions or physiological events.
