“…The results suggested that minor percentage of the riders were at the two extreme points of the noise sensitivity scale. Previous studies reported similar results on different populations by concluding that minor population exhibits higher noise-sensitivity traits with greater susceptibility of health risk associated with it (Kishikawa et al, 2006;Oiamo, Luginaah, & Baxter, 2015).…”

Saliva cortisol response was investigated from the motorcycling exposure for approximately 50 minutes between low and high noisesensitive (Weinstein Noise Sensitivity Scale) young riders (19-25 years). The results showed significant difference (p < 0.05) in salivary cortisol concentrations in High-Noise Sensitive group (n = 27). Significant gender differences were found (p < 0.05) among the Low-Noise sensitive group (n = 30), after ride. Cross-analysis between groups was significant (p < 0.05) for before ride cortisol levels of Low-Noise sensitive group. This study suggests that subjective noise sensitivity plays a vital role in increased cortisol level among noise sensitive riders.

“…6 of 13 (6) After calculating the total diffraction ∆L d (δ j ) and the 1/3rd-octave-band diffraction ∆L di (δ j ) with seven preset path length differences, the mean deviation ∆d i between ∆L d (δ j ) and ∆L di (δ j ) can be obtained (Equation (8)). …”

“…Traffic noise is disturbing to the daily routine of residents along the roads [4]. Many issues, physiological [5] and psychological [6] health problems, are demonstrated to be related to a noisy environment. To reduce traffic noise, one of the most effective methods is to set noise barriers along the roads [7].…”

A single frequency of 500 Hz is used as the equivalent frequency for traffic noise to calculate the approximate diffraction in current road barrier designs. However, the noise frequency changes according to the different types of vehicles moving at various speeds. The primary objective of this study is the development of a method of calculating the insertion loss based on frequencies. First, the noise emissions of a large number of vehicles classified by speed and type were measured to obtain data the noise spectrum. The corresponding relation between vehicle type, speed, and noise frequency was obtained. Next, the impact of different frequencies on the insertion loss was analyzed and was verified to be reasonable in experiments with different propagation distances compared to the analysis of a pure 500 Hz sound. In addition, calculations were applied in a case with different traffic flows, and the effect of a road noise barrier with different types of constituents and flow speeds were analyzed. The results show that sound pressure levels behind a barrier of a heavy vehicle flow or with a high speed are notably elevated.

“…Every day, in many workplaces, workers are exposed to various harmful agents such as noise, vibration, stress, etc., which may have negative effects on their health safety and performance (1)(2)(3)(4). Noise is considered as the most common and one of the most harmful agents of working environments worldwide (5,6).…”
