The development of the noise sensitivity questionnaire
Noise and Health, 2007 The existing questionnaires for determining the noise sensitivity of individuals provide information only about global noise sensitivity, although empirical data suggest that measuring noise sensitivity for different situations in daily life might be more logical. Therefore, the "Noise-Sensitivity-Questionnaire" (NoiSeQ) was developed to measure global

Suppression of extraneous thermal noise in cavity optomechanics [PDF]
, 2011 Extraneous thermal motion can limit displacement sensitivity and radiation pressure effects, such as optical cooling, in a cavity-optomechanical system. Here we present an active noise suppression scheme and its experimental implementation.

Road traffic noise and health-related quality of life: A cross-sectional study
Noise and Health, 2013 Evidence is emerging linking environmental noise to health problems. Noise can affect health directly and indirectly: For example, noise sensitivity moderates the effects of noise annoyance, which in turn mediates the effects of noise exposure.

Dynamic Normalization for Compact Binary Coalescence Searches in Non-Stationary Noise [PDF]
, 2020 The output of gravitational-wave interferometers, such as LIGO and Virgo, can be highly non-stationary. Broadband detector noise can affect the detector sensitivity on the order of tens of seconds. Gravitational-wave transient searches, such as those for

Environment and Natural Resources Journal, 2023 This study investigated factors associated with road traffic noise and residents’ annoyance from three distinct types of roads (major arterial, minor arterial, and collector roads). Nine sampling locations in Thailand’s Nakorn Pathom Province were chosen

Monolayer graphene bolometer as a sensitive far-IR detector [PDF]
, 2014 In this paper we give a detailed analysis of the expected sensitivity and operating conditions in the power detection mode of a hot-electron bolometer (HEB) made from a few {\mu}m$^2$ of monolayer graphene (MLG) flake which can be embedded into either a ...

Teachers’ Noise Sensitivity and Efforts to Prevent Noise Pollution in School [PDF]
Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2021 The noise phenomenon at school is one of the factors that may negatively affect school climate. Purpose In this study, the noise sensitivity and coping efforts of classroom teachers who intensely experienced noise phenomenon in their school were determined using basic qualitative research.

Noise sensitivity of an atomic velocity sensor [PDF]
, 2005 We use Bloch oscillations to accelerate coherently Rubidium atoms. The variation of the velocity induced by this acceleration is an integer number times the recoil velocity due to the absorption of one photon. The measurement of the velocity variation is

Stress and odor sensitivity in persons with noise sensitivity
Noise and Health, 2013 Previous research has indicated that sensory sensitivity/intolerance to a specific modality may be part of a more general environmental hypersensitivity, and possibly mediated by stress. This study investigated the relationship between noise sensitivity, perceived stress, and odor sensitivity in a group of men. A quasi-experimental design was used. One-
