“…This conclusion is supported by the findings in Crichton's study (Crichton et al, 2015) that shows that having knowledge of the sounds being bad for your well-being will increase noise annoyance. This assumption is also supported by the data in this study, which shows that preschools teachers with a hearing reduction also experience more noise annoyance, although the Chi-Square analyses was not statically significant.…”

“…The attitude towards the noise source may also be driven by the exposed individual's prior knowledge of the noise. If a person, exposed to noise, also know that the noise exposure may cause harm or long term ill-health this person is also more likely to report noise annoyance (Crichton, Dodd, Schmid, & Petrie, 2015).…”

“…Further, in field surveys individual attributes of the participants such as noise sensitivity or attitude were found to significantly affect annoyance (see Sec. I), which was neither observed here nor in a laboratory study by Legarth (2007), and only partly in a laboratory study by Crichton et al (2015).Th isismo stp ro b ab lydu eto the fact that in laboratory experiments, participants' ratings are closely related to the sensory perception of the sounds present at the time of rating. Consistent with this, laboratory annoyance ratings are usually highly correlated with perceived loudness (Guski and Bosshardt, 1992), which in turn strongly depends on the (physical) sound pressure level.…”

Current literature suggests that wind turbine noise is more annoying than transportation noise. To date, however, it is not known which acoustic characteristics of wind turbines alone, i.e., without effect modifiers such as visibility, are associated with annoyance. The objective of this study was therefore to investigate and compare the short-term noise annoyance reactions to wind turbines and road traffic in controlled laboratory listening tests. A set of acoustic scenarios was created which, combined with the factorial design of the listening tests, allowed separating the individual associations of three acoustic characteristics with annoyance, namely, source type (wind turbine, road traffic), A-weighted sound pressure level, and amplitude modulation (without, periodic, random). Sixty participants rated their annoyance to the sounds. At the same A-weighted sound pressure level, wind turbine noise was found to be associated with higher annoyance than road traffic noise, particularly with amplitude modulation. The increased annoyance to amplitude modulation of wind turbines is not related to its periodicity, but seems to depend on the modulation frequency range. The study discloses a direct link of different acoustic characteristics to annoyance, yet the generalizability to long-term exposure in the field still needs to be verified.

“…Parks in city centers meet this requirement. However, quiet zones in these areas are difficult to separate [10,11]. The statement about acoustic nuisance occurring in the park does not have to coincide with the noise distribution determined on the basis of the measurements.…”

Areas that are considered human-friendly are green spaces. The existing urban parks are designed to fulfill the role of relaxation, recreation, and entertainment. However, in many cases, these are historic places, which at the time didn't have much of an impact on external factors. Sustainable development issues are related to the quality of life and the usage of the environment and its resources by present and future generations. Noise and noise protection is an issue that is part of sustainable development. The inadequate implementation of the principles of sustainable development and non-inclusion of noise can noticeably lead to negative effects now and in the future. The aim of the paper is to analyze the soundscapes of two Bydgoszcz parks located in the city center. The values of the equivalent sound level for these areas were obtained from the existing Bydgoszcz acoustic plan. Subsequently, the resulting distribution of noise was compared with the results of subjective perception of sounds by visitors. On this basis, conclusions can be drawn regarding the ways of shaping such areas while taking into account the perception of visitors.
