Continuous Noise, Intermittent Noise, and Annoyance
Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1989In a within-subjects design, 18 subjects listened to white noise, the intensity of which was controlled by themselves. They were instructed to choose the intensity they experienced as “clearly annoying.” Three kinds of white noise were used: continuous, intermittent regular, and intermittent irregular. In the two intermittent conditions, the proportion

Describes a socio‐psychological study performed in a residential area of Tehran, exposed to both aircraft and traffic noise. Analysis of residents′ responses to road traffic noise shows that although aircraft noise is the chief environmental problem it fails to mask the nuisance of traffic noise.

Noise annoyance susceptibility
Journal of Sound and Vibration, 1972Abstract The variations of annoyance due to tape recorded noise have been investigated in a group of 34 normal hearing subjects. It has been found that there are significant differences between subjects in their rating of three different types of noise, 20 s samples of which were played at levels varying from 55–95 dBA.

Annoyance depends directory on the sound pressure level (SPL) when sounds are roughly equivalent in other attributes, such as timbre and duration. Therefore, a lot of efforts have been spent on noise reduction technologies in relation to reducing sound exposure level.

Noise & Vibration Worldwide, 2006
The effects of sound on man are reviewed with emphasis on the physiological reaction mechanisms and the ultimate stress reaction. It is seen that energy related noise levels are poor predictors for the reactions in man as noise is always interpreted in the central nervous system, generating secondary and tertiary reactions that are not controlled by ...

Journal of Environmental Psychology, 1991
Abstract This research attempts to describe the situational parameters of neighbourhood noise which explain the level of annoyance and victims' reactions towards the noise originators. The sample of subjects (N= 284) was constituted so as to allow comparisons between age groups, sex, and three levels of social class.

Aircraft Noise, Hearing Ability, and Annoyance
Archives of Environmental Health: An International Journal, 1995The relationship between aircraft noise, loss of hearing, and annoyance was explored in a study in two schools located near an international airport in Taiwan. Sixth-grade students (N = 242) were recruited from two schools and were classified into high- and low-noise-exposure groups, based on environmental noise measurements.

Environmental noise-annoyance in Patras, Greece
Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 1988Noise pollution in most European and mainly Greek towns, is a major environmental problem. The annoyance caused by environmental noise is great and the use of a reliable descriptor of noise is important. This paper attempts to evaluate the noise fluctuations at an observation point by introducing a probabilistic model for the system environment-noise ...

A fuzzy model for noise-induced annoyance
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics - Part A: Systems and Humans, 2006This paper proposes a novel approach for modeling noise-induced annoyance using the fuzzy technique. The fuzzy approach offers a convenient way of representing the relationships between the inputs and outputs of a system in the form of simple IF-THEN rules.

Road traffic noise annoyance in Amsterdam
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 19853445 persons living in Amsterdam (1507 male and 1938 female), aged 41-43 years, participated in an investigation in which the relationship was studied between the (measured) road traffic noise in front of the houses in which the participants lived, and the (reported) resulting annoyance and sleep disturbance.
