TLDR
A large field study with 2312 residents from 66 areas around Frankfurt Airport was performed in 2005 in order to investigate the effects of aircraft noise on annoyance and health-related quality of life as discussed by the authors.Abstract:
A large field study with 2312 residents from 66 areas around Frankfurt Airport was performed in 2005 in order to investigate the effects of aircraft noise on annoyance and health-related quality of life. The survey was carried out in a period between the announcement and the planned implementation of an airport extension (construction of a new runway). The results show among others a shift in noise annoyance in comparison to dose-response curves generated from meta-analyses including older studies. In addition to noise exposure non-acoustical factors like attitudes towards the noise source, expectations concerning future residential situation after airport extension and (dis-)trust in authorities had a substantial influence on noise annoyance.read more

TL;DR: Annoyance ratings due to aircraft noise, however, were higher than predicted by the EU standard curves, suggesting that the people's attitude towards aircraft noise has changed over the years, and that theEU standard curve for aircraft noise should be modified.

A first-principles model for estimating the prevalence of annoyance with aircraft noise exposure.

TL;DR: The present analyses demonstrate that 1) community-specific differences in annoyance prevalence rates can be plausibly attributed to the joint effect of acoustic and non-DNL related factors and (2) a simple model can account for the aggregate influences of non-CNS related factors on annoyance prevalence rate in different communities in terms of a single parameter expressed in DNL units-a "community tolerance level."

Response to a change in transport noise exposure: competing explanations of change effects.
Alan Brown,Irene van Kamp +1 more
TL;DR: The evidence is of limited and variable quality but, while inadequate to endorse any one explanation, is sufficient to reject some notions and to identify a residual set of plausible explanations.

Policy discourse, people's internal frames, and declared aircraft noise annoyance: an application of Q-methodology.
Maarten Kroesen,Christian Bröer +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that policy making is a possible mechanism through which the sound of aircraft is turned into annoyance and the experience of aircraft noise and, in particular, noise annoyance is part of coherent frames of mind, which consist of mutually reinforcing positions and include non-acoustical factors.

Response to a change in transport noise exposure: a review of evidence of a change effect.
Alan Brown,Irene van Kamp +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is examined that when noise exposure is changed, subjective reaction may not change in the way that would be predicted from steady-state exposure-response relationships, and there appears to be little, if any, adaptation of this excess response with time.

Annoyance from transportation noise: Relationships with exposure metrics DNL and DENL and their confidence intervals
TL;DR: Better estimates of the confidence intervals due to the improved model of the relationship between annoyance and noise exposure are provided, which is easier to use for practical calculations than the model itself.

Exposure-response relationships for transportation noise
Henk M. E. Miedema,H. Vos +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented synthesis curves for the relationship between DNL and percentage highly annoyed for three transportation noise sources, including aircraft, road traffic, and railway noise, based on all 21 datasets examined by Schultz and Fidell et al. and augmented with 34 datasets.

TL;DR: The ICBEN Community Response to Noise (CRO2N) survey as discussed by the authors was the first attempt to measure community response to noise in nine languages for which a standardized empirical study protocol has been followed to select annoyance scale words.

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.
