Assessing noise annoyance: an improvement-oriented approach
Ergonomics, 2000A concept for practice-oriented assessment of noise annoyance at the workplace is presented. Employees evaluated the noise situation at their workplace by characterizing the loudest noise event with respect to relevant noise characteristics. The results from a first use of the questionnaire for Subjective Evaluation of Noise Characteristics in Office ...

Annoyance of aircraft noise in relation to background noise
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1978The effect of background noise level on the subjective response to aircraft noise was investigated. PAANI [Psychological Assessment of Aircraft Noise Index: developed by us—J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 63, 815–822 (1978)] has proved to be a good indicator and the detail will be mentioned.

The Annoyance of Tinnitus and the Noise Required to Mask It
Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1983For 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, 1978Since 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, 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 ...

Criteria for assessment of noise annoyance
Noise Control Engineering Journal, 2005Day-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

Applications (IV) – Noise Annoyance
2009Noise 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 ...
