Annoyance factors for common neighborhood noise

Effects of noise annoyance on mental distress

Introduction: Noise is one of the most harmful physical factors in the workplace that can cause annoyance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of annoyance caused by occupational noise on employee’s mental distress. Materials and Methods: This analytical-descriptive study was performed on 325 employees of the parts manufacturing industry in seven groups and the noise ...

Fuzzy modeling of noise annoyance

Low frequency noise and annoyance.

Low frequency noise, the frequency range from about 10 Hz to 200 Hz, has been recognised as a special environmental noise problem, particularly to sensitive people in their homes. Conventional methods of assessing annoyance, typically based on A-weighted equivalent level, are inadequate for low frequency noise and lead to incorrect decisions by regulatory authorities. There have been a large nu...

Common Neighborhood Graph

Let G be a simple graph with vertex set {v1, v2, … , vn}. The common neighborhood graph of G, denoted by con(G), is a graph with vertex set {v1, v2, … , vn}, in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they have at least one common neighbor in the graph G. In this paper, we compute the common neighborhood of some composite graphs. In continue, we investigate the relation between hamiltoni...

Influence of visual factors on noise annoyance evaluation caused by road traffic noise in indoor environment

Through laboratory experiments the variation of noise annoyance caused by road traffic noise with LAeq.20sec of 35, 45, 55 and 65dB under different visual conditions in study and living rooms was explored. The experimental result shows that in the indoor environment the influence of brightness perception on noise annoyance caused by road traffic noise was more obvious, and the effect of color p...
