Determining the direction of causality between psychological factors and aircraft noise annoyance

open access: yesNoise and Health, 2010
In this paper, an attempt is made to establish the direction of causality between a range of psychological factors and aircraft noise annoyance. For this purpose, a panel model was estimated within a structural equation modeling approach.

Noise Annoyance Is Associated with Depression and Anxiety in the General Population- The Contribution of Aircraft Noise.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
BackgroundWhile noise annoyance has become recognized as an important environmental stressor, its association to mental health has hardly been studied. We therefore determined the association of noise annoyance to anxiety and depression and explored the ...

Low frequency noise and annoyance in classroom [PDF]

open access: yesNoise Notes, 2000
The most common method for noise assessment is the A-weighted sound pressure level. The question has been raised as to whether the frequency weighting with an A-filter gives a correct result when assessing the annoyance response to noise containing strong low frequency noise (LFN) components.

Railway noise annoyance: Exposure-response relationships and testing a theoretical model by structural equation analysis

open access: yesNoise and Health, 2014
In some regions the exposure to railway noise is extremely concentrated, which may lead to high residential annoyance. Nonacoustical factors contribute to these reactions, but there is limited evidence on the interrelations between the nonacoustical ...

Tissue‐Adhesive Fabric‐Based Bioelectronics for Wearable and Implantable Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An implantable and wearable bioelectronic textile (iTextile) is introduced as a unified platform bridging wearable and implantable systems. By integrating a self‐healing polymer, stretchable silk fabric, conductive composite electrodes, and an adhesive hydrogel, the platform enables conformal, stable interfacing with soft tissues. The iTextile supports
