Abstract:The relationship between immediate activity response and snowmobile noise level was measured for 30 female white mice ranging in age between 90 and 120 days. The mice were divided into three groups: the first was exposed to 85±4 dB (flat); the second to 95±4 dB (flat); and the third was a control group. The sound was a tape recording of several snowmobiles. The predominate tones were at about 500 and 1000 Hz. The mice were exposed for a period of 1 min for approximately three times each day. The experiment las… Show more
