There is a growing awareness of the standard development for soundscape evaluation. Although soundscape evaluation of environmental noise is not a new concept, the heterogenous between the soundscape studies will increase the difficulty in integrating ...

INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings, 2021
Caption Evaluation Method is a technique that was developed in Japan to learn about the reason of evaluation of landscape. The investigative method is a formalized one and can show the element of landscape that a person focused on when he made an evaluation of the landscape, and the reason why he made a good or bad evaluation on it.

Modelling subjective evaluation of soundscape: Towards soundscape standardization.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011Based on a series of large scale surveys, this paper first analyzes the effects of social, demographical, and behavioral factors as well as long-term sound experience on the subjective evaluation of soundscape in urban open public spaces. Te paper then explores the feasibility of using computer-based artificial neural network to build models for ...

Evaluating manufacturing environment soundscapes
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2019This work presents an investigation into the soundscape of a large, industrial manufacturing plant in Lincoln, Nebraska, including exploration of the noise reduction performance of sound enclosures. Occupational noise-induced hearing loss is among the most common nonfatal work-related injuries and illnesses in the U.S., and most efforts to reduce this ...

Psychoacoustical evaluation of natural and urban sounds in soundscapes
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2013Among various sounds in the environment, natural sounds, such as water sounds and birdsongs, have proven to be highly preferred by humans, but the reasons for these preferences have not been thoroughly researched. This paper explores differences between various natural and urban environmental sounds from the viewpoint of objective measures, especially ...

Evaluating hospital soundscapes to improve patient experience
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2017Patients routinely perceive hospital soundscapes to be poor when rating their experience on HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) surveys administered after discharge. In this study, sound levels within five hospital units were correlated with HCAHPS noise perception survey data. Acoustic metrics including A-weighted

Spatial variations in pedestrian soundscape evaluation of traffic noise
, 2020Walking is necessary for experiencing urban space, but pedestrians are seriously disturbed by traffic noise. This study aimed to clarify spatial variations in soundscape evaluation in pedestrian spaces used solely for walking, including traffic noise ...

Evaluation of urban soundscape by future architects
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2004Urban soundscape design has drawn great attention along with the ever increasing urban noise level. Previous research shows that people with different social and demographic backgrounds may have different sound preferences in urban environment. For example, gender, age, and cultural background have been proved to affect peoples soundscape evaluation ...

Comparison of momentary and retrospective soundscape evaluations
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2014The Peak and End rule describes the effect that retrospective evaluations of temporal events significantly depend on the most extreme affect (peak) experienced during an episode and on the affect at the ending. Other features, like the duration of an event, seem to be widely negligible.

Evaluating the intensive care unit soundscape.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009The intermittent sounds in hospital wards may induce arousal among patients leading to responses such as annoyance, sleep disturbance, and cardio-vascular reactions. The sound environment as a whole may also affect the efficiency and general health among the staff.
