“…Thus the partial annoyances were not influenced by the presence of the other noise in the combination, contrary to inhibition observed between combined transportation noises (e.g., [4]). One possible explanation lies in the fact that for the considered noise sequences, the differences in sound pressure level between the highly varying road traffic noise and the steady and continuous industrial noise were important.…”

Total annoyance due to combined noises is still difficult to predict adequately. This scientific gap is an obstacle for noise action planning, especially in urban areas where inhabitants are usually exposed to high noise levels from multiple sources. In this context, this work aims to highlight potential to enhance the prediction of total annoyance. The work is based on a simulated environment experiment where participants performed activities in a living room while exposed to combined road traffic and industrial noises. The first objective of the experiment presented in this paper was to gain further understanding of the effects on annoyance of some acoustical factors, non-acoustical factors and potential interactions between the combined noise sources. The second one was to assess total annoyance models constructed from the data collected during the experiment and tested using data gathered in situ. The results obtained in this work highlighted the superiority of perceptual models. In particular, perceptual models with an interaction term seemed to be the best predictors for the two combined noise sources under study, even with high differences in sound pressure level. Thus, these results reinforced the need to focus on perceptual models and to improve the prediction of partial annoyances.

“…Annoyance due to combined noises has been investigated by researchers for more than 40 years [4]. However, knowledge remains incomplete in terms of: (1) assessment of potential interactions between combined noises and of (2) total annoyance prediction to better take into account these interactions [5,6,7].…”

“…Bottom obtained annoyance scores at nine sites under the conditions of combining three different aircraft noises and three different traffic flows. 4 Traffic flows show strong relationship to traffic noise, with heavier traffic flow causing higher traffic noise. He found that mean annoyance scores were regressed against traffic flows.…”

“…The influence of background noise levels for annoyance responses to aircraft noise has been studied. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Pearsons carried out the first study of background noise in 1966. 1 He studied the effects of background noise on perceived noisiness, and reported that the addition of background noise decreased the perceived noisiness of aircraft noise.…”

A study of community annoyance caused by exposures to civil aircraft noise was carried out in 20 sites around Gimpo and Gimhae international airports to investigate the effect of background noise in terms of dose-effect relationships between aircraft noise levels and annoyance responses under real conditions. Aircraft noise levels were mainly measured using airport noise monitoring systems, B&K type 3597. Social surveys were administered to people living within 100 m of noise measurement sites. The question relating to the annoyance of aircraft noise was answered on an 11-point numerical scale. The randomly selected respondents, who were aged between 18 and 70 years, completed the questionnaire independently. In total, 753 respondents participated in social surveys. The result shows that annoyance responses in low background noise regions are much higher than those in high background noise regions, even though aircraft noise levels are the same. It can be concluded that the background noise level is one of the important factors on the estimation of community annoyance from aircraft noise exposure.

“…Thus, it appears that the major factor contributing to the adverse response to environmental noise is frequently the activity interference produced by the noise [2,5,17,23,24].…”

This report summarizes the literature dealing with the adverse response of people to time-varying noise, and Identifies both the acoustlal and nonacoustlcal factors that Influence the relationship between time-varying noise and annoyance. An examination of the laboratory research concerned with the functional relationship between annoyance and the temporal and acoustic parameters of noise shows the tenuousness of such relationships. The adequacy of currently used and/or proposed rating procedures for predicting subjective response to time-varying noise is examined. Critical gaps In current knowledge are identified.
