TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured four points that were based on distance from roadside at the same measurement site and under the conditions as reported by the National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) in 1999.

Zur Anwendung des Schienenbonus bei der Beurteilung von Verkehrsgeräuschen

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey examines the question, whether the railway track bonus is still justified in comparison to other traffic noise sources, which is based on a literature analysis, which leads to following conclusions: the definition of the railway bonus according to german traffic noise law was based on the results of extensive sociological surveys from 1978 to 1983.

Effect of the Properties of Sound Source and Transmission for the Evaluation of Subjective Response by the Exposure Time of Transportation Noise

TL;DR: In this paper, the subjective response of residents with physical measurement of noise during long period in field was evaluated by applying three kinds of variable how much they give effects on the annoyance as the exposure time is operating condition, windows type and sound level.

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.
