Loudness and Annoyance of Impulsive Office Noise [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1967
A study has been made on the evaluation of natural impulsive noises by subjective and objective procedures. One special example was used to get an indication of whether existing objective calculation methods might give sufficient agreement with subjective tests.

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 ...

Noise annoyance and cardiovascular disease risk: results from a 10-year follow-up study

open access: yesScientific Reports
The relationship between noise annoyance and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) still needs to be fully elucidated. Thus, we examined the relationship between noise annoyance and CVD risk in a large population-based cohort study.
