TL;DR: Criteria for permissible vibrations with regard to their effect on human beings (thresholds of perception and annoyance) have been suggested and could serve as a basis for a British Standard Specification.
Abstract: Criteria for permissible vibrations with regard to their effect on human beings (thresholds of perception and annoyance) have boon suggested. Dimensionless units for degrees of perceptibility and annoyance have been introduced. It is suggested the criteria could serve as a basis for a British Standard Specification.

Journal Article
TL;DR: In this article, audibility and subjective appreciation of dropouts in magnetic recordings of music were estimated in a series of listening experiments in which the most vulnerable situation was simulated: the type of music, the playback conditions as well as the highly discriminating listeners cooperated to yield high annoyance ratings.
Abstract: Both audibility and subjective appreciation of dropouts in magnetic recordings of music were estimated in a series of listening experiments in which the most vulnerable situation was simulated: the type of music, the playback conditions as well as the highly discriminating listeners cooperated to yield high annoyance ratings. In this way -worst case- (or True High Fidelity) criteria have been obtained.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A stepwise approach to community noise control giving due consideration to all contributing souring sources is suggested, based too often on possible effects rather than proven effects.
Abstract: Often community noise control regulations are hastily developed and contain unrealistic features. Transportation, home, and other community noise sources are neglected with resulting emphasis on the contribution of industrial sources. Industry is the only segment of the total environment which has and is developing a full hearing conservation program. Evaluation of noise as an annoyance factor and one subjective response has not received adequate study for setting of meaningful criteria. Community noise control is based too often on possible effects rather than proven effects. Most studies to evaluate the subjective response to noise have been based on aircraft noise, and attempts to rate annoyance in terms of a physical measurement. Several such rating systems are discussed. Community noise regulations tend toward zoning laws with performance standards which present many pitfalls and inconsistencies. A stepwise approach to community noise control giving due consideration to all contributing sour...
