Evaluations of the Annoyance Effects of Noise

Acoustical Physics, 2022
Abstract Noise is defined as audible sound that disrupts silence and causes annoyance. Such annoyance is traditionally assessed by the A-weighted sound pressure level of noise, roughly corresponding to the level of perceived loudness.
