TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that results of available theoretical analyses of the far-field sound pressure due to a simple source above an absorbing plane are capable of simple interpretation, and that certain published experimental values of excess attenuation obtained from measurements near the ground are consistent with such results.

TL;DR: In this article, an analytical study is presented to predict low frequency noise transmission through finite stiffened panels into rectangular enclosures, where the acoustic wave equation for the interior noise field and stiffened panel equations for vibrations of panels and stringers are solved by a Galerkin-like procedure.

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.
Abstract: Aircraft noise annoyance is studied extensively, but often without an explicit theoretical framework. In this article, a social approach for noise annoyance is proposed. The idea that aircraft noise is meaningful to people within a socially produced discourse is assumed and tested. More particularly, it is expected that the noise policy discourse influences people’s assessment of aircraft noise. To this end, Q-methodology is used, which, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, has not been used for aircraft noise annoyance so far. Through factor analysis five distinct frames are revealed: “Long live aviation!,” “aviation: an ecological threat,” “aviation and the environment: a solvable problem,” “aircraft noise: not a problem,” and “aviation: a local problem.” It is shown that the former three frames are clearly related to the policy discourse. Based on this observation it is argued that policy making is a possible mechanism through which the sound of aircraft is turned into annoyance. In addition, it is concluded that 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.

TL;DR: The large database used to establish earlier exposure-response relationships on aircraft noise was updated with original data from several recent surveys, yielding a database with data from 34 separate airports and a significant increase over the years in annoyance was observed.
Abstract: This study assesses the effects of aircraft noise on residential satisfaction, an important indicator of subjective well-being. A structural equation model is specified that estimates the relationships between objective variables, noise annoyance variables and residential satisfaction. Secondary data-analysis is used to estimate the model. The survey was conducted in 1996/1997 among the population living within a 25-km radius of Amsterdam Schiphol, the largest airport in the Netherlands. The effect of aircraft noise annoyance is found to be relatively small. In addition, the objective level of aircraft noise exposure is found to be a better predictor of residential satisfaction than its subjective counterpart. The most important determinants of residential satisfaction are found to be road traffic noise annoyance, age and neighbor noise annoyance. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
