Effects of adding natural sounds to urban noises on the perceived loudness of noise and soundscape quality.
Joo Young Hong,Zhen-Ting Ong,Bhan Lam,Kenneth Ooi,Woon-Seng Gan,Jian Kang,Jing Feng,Sze-Tiong Tan +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that increasing the dissimilarity in temporal structure between the target noise and natural sounds could enhance the soundscape quality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring distraction of construction workers caused by noise using a wearable Electroencephalography (EEG) device
TL;DR: It was found that beta and gamma powers in the left temporal and right pre-frontal cortex can distinguish these two statuses, particularly in channels T7 and AF4, and these indicators can be considered as an objective evaluation of an individual's sustained attention and attention failures.
Journal ArticleDOI
An empirical analysis of environmental pollutants on building construction sites for determining the real-time monitoring indices
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determined the key impact factors affecting the noise, vibration, and dust in construction sites, as monitoring indices, and proved the feasibility of using the real-time monitoring indices for each environmental pollutant was proven through the application of the current relevant policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of noise content and level on cognitive performance measured by electroencephalography (EEG)
Jinjing Ke,Jing Du,Xiaowei Luo +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of various noise conditions on task performance and cognitive performance via a portable electroencephalography device were examined by a total of 27 subjects who participated in an experiment to identify hazards under different noise exposure conditions (contents and levels).
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative health impact assessment of construction noise exposure on the nearby region for noise barrier optimization
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a method to assess the quantitative health impact of construction noise exposure on nearby residents and optimize noise barriers based on this health impact, which can help the government reduce the social cost of solving disputes related to construction noise by providing a quantitative metric for compensation criteria.

Comparing correlated correlation coefficients
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide simple but accurate methods for comparing correlation coefficients between a dependent variable and a set of independent variables using the Fisher z transformation and include a test and confidence interval for comparing two correlated correlations, a test for heterogeneity, and a contrast among k ≥ 2 correlated correlations.

Effect of personal and situational variables on noise annoyance in residential areas
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used methods that control for noise level and data quality to objectively evaluate the evidence on 22 personal and situational explanations for annoyance with environmental noise in residential areas.
