چکیده
This paper presents the results of low-frequency noise (LFN) annoyance tests in laboratory conditions on a model workstation conceptual mental work. Group of volunteers: 60 persons (30 women and 30 men) participated in the experiment consisting in completing psychological tests in three different acoustic conditions. The tests results have shown significant differences in subjective assessment of noise annoyance depending on the gender and reactivity level of surveyed persons.

Background and aims The influences of Low Frequency Noise (LFN) on mental performance have been the objectives of many papers in recent years. Many researchers believe that the LFN even at low pressure levels has impacts on mental performance. In the present work the influences of LFN and Reference Noise (RN) at two different sound pressure levels (45 & 65 dBA) on mental performances of co...

INTRODUCTION Some people living in the environs of industrial wind turbines (IWTs) report experiencing adverse health and socioeconomic effects. This review considers the hypothesis that annoyance from audible IWTs is the cause of these adverse health effects. METHODS We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for articles published since 2000 that included the terms "wind turbine health," "wind t...
