On the judgment of loudness, noisiness and annoyance with actual and artificial noises
TLDR
In this article, the authors evaluated loudness, noisiness, annoyance and annoyance for 36 stimuli by Japanese and German subjects using LA eq. Absolute magnitude estimation was used for making judgments.About:

A-weighted sound pressure level as an indicator of short-term loudness or annoyance of road-traffic sound
Mats E. Nilsson,Mats E. Nilsson +1 more
TL;DR: A-weighted sound pressure level as an indicator of short-term loudness or annoyance of road-traffic sound was used in this article. But this measure was not applied to road traffic sound.

Short-term annoyance reactions to stationary and time-varying wind turbine and road traffic noise: A laboratory studya)
Beat Schäffer,Sabine Schlittmeier,Reto Pieren,Kurt Heutschi,Mark Brink,Ralf Graf,Jürgen Hellbrück +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of short-term noise annoyance reactions to wind turbines and road traffic in controlled laboratory listening tests 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.

Correcting menu usability problems with sound
Stephen Brewster,Murray Crease +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that sound and graphics together can be used to improve interaction and a significant reduction in the subjective effort required to use the new sonically-enhanced menus along with significantly reduced error recovery times is shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
Annoyance from industrial noise: indicators for a wide variety of industrial sources.
TL;DR: Indicators are proposed here that allow good prediction of noise annoyance by taking into account spectral features in industrial noises comprising six categories.

Annoyance of Time-Varying Road-Traffic Noise
Tomasz Kaczmarek,Anna Preis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how the time structure of a road-traffic affects the noise annoyance judgment and found that there is a significant difference in annoyance judgment for different traffic structures with the same LAeq,T value.

Continuous judgment of level-fluctuating sounds and the relationship between overall loudness and instantaneous loudness
Sonoko Kuwano,Seichiro Namba +1 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that instantaneous loudness is determined by the sound energy averaged during the 2.5-s period preceding each judgment, the duration of which seems to reflect the psychological present.

Psychological study on Leq as a measure of loudness of various kinds of noises
Seiichiro Namba,Sonoko Kuwano +1 more
TL;DR: The application of Leq as a measure of loudness of various noises is investigated in this article, where nine kinds of noise sources, -aircraft noise, super express train noise, train noises, road traffic noise, speech, music, impulsive noise, artificial levelfluctuating noise and steady state noise-are used as stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cross-cultural study on noise problems.
TL;DR: This paper conducted cross-cultural surveys on neighborhood noise problems in Japan, Germany and England in 1980 and 1983, and found that Japanese respondents found it more difficult to become habituated to noise, and to be less tolerant of being annoyed by noise from neighbors.
