The importance of non-acoustical factors on noise annoyance of urban residents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Noise annoyance is a feeling of displeasure or disturbance caused by noise. It is a sensitive indicator of adverse noise effects. Noise annoyance can only be partially explained by acoustical characteristics of noise – its level, frequency, duration, source etc. Non-acoustical factors, such as personal characterisitcs (age, gender, noise sensitivity), and social, residential or environmental factors are also related to noise annoyance (Ouis 2001). Noise annoyance experiments typically do not consider all non-acoustical factors, because they are interested in average response of a large population.
