Abstract:A behavioral preference procedure, the ’’acoustic menu,’’ was used to assess human aversion to the sounds from two samples of transmission line audible noise and from samples of other environmental noises. The audible (corona) noise produced by extra-high voltage (EHV), overhead transmission lines was tape-recorded during moist weather. Reproduced samples of corona noise, other common environmental noises, and artificial reference stimuli were compared in two experiments. The two corona noise samples were foun… Show more
“…There are several methods of evaluating human sensitivity to sound by observing the listeners' active behavior, for example, (1) acoustic menu [12]; (2) subject-interrupted noise source method [13]; and (3) measurement of the listening level [14][15][16]. The first two methods include a procedure in which participants spontaneously change or stop the presentation of sounds as they wish.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
