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:

Effect of processing of dental drill noise on subjective impression
TL;DR: The present findings suggest that the consideration of acoustical characteristics based on the CI is useful in reducing the sound pressure level and refining the frequency characteristics of sounds emitted by dental drills, and this can aid in the development of new dental devices to create a comfortable sound environment in dental clinics.

Noisiness of road traffic noise
TL;DR: It is claimed that sharpness in the short term can be affected by fluctuation strength, but in the long term it is not.

A methodological approach to urban noise assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, a group of semantic differential scales are proposed, reporting the results obtained with nine of them in a study carried out in four zones of a city, where subjects appraised the urban noise heard at home.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating roadside noise barriers using an annoyance reduction criterion
TL;DR: In this article, the effectiveness of noise barriers is typically assessed as the reduction in A-weighted sound pressure level (LA), which is not a valid indicator of the corresponding annoyance reduction.

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.

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.
