The Annoyance of Tinnitus and the Noise Required to Mask It

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1983
For 11 patients with tinnitus and sensorineural hearing loss, the intensity of bilateral broad-band noise required to mask the tinnitus increased by as much as 41 dB over a 30-minute period. A significant correlation was obtained between the rate of change in the noise over time and reported annoyance of the tinnitus as measured on a 5-point rating ...

Synthesis of social surveys on noise annoyance

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978
Since noise was first recognized as a serious environmental pollutant, a number of social surveys have been conducted in order to assess the magnitude of the problem and to develop suitable noise ratings, such that, from a measurement of certain physical characteristics of community noise, one could reliably predict the community’s subjective response ...

Community annoyance by aircraft noise

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1993
Rigorously 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 ...

Criteria for assessment of noise annoyance

Noise Control Engineering Journal, 2005
Day-night average sound level (DNL) and the relationship between DNL and community annoyance to noise are often presented to a community as part of a noise-assessment process, usually as established scientific fact. In reality, there is great scatter and variability in the attitudinal survey data that are the basis for the DNL-response relationship. As

Spectrum contrast and noise annoyance

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1998
According 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.

Individual Differences in Annoyance by Noise

British Journal of Audiology, 1972
This paper discusses correlations found in a number of investigations of noise annoyance, with special reference to the question whether those who are most annoyed show neurotic tendencies. In the past, this last association has been suggested because neurotic individuals give more affirmative answers when asked under quiet conditions how much they are

Applications (IV) – Noise Annoyance

2009
Noise is a ubiquitous feature of modern life that is frequently the cause of psychological irritation and stress. We conducted a series of experiments to probe various aspects of noise perception and annoyance. Sections 11.1 and 11.2 discuss experiments in a laboratory that were conducted for annoyance judgments of noise based on both the temporal and ...
