TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse the perception and opinions of people exposed to wind Turbine (WT) noise and find that the direct visibility of the WT makes people feel more annoyed and also more sensitive to noise.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the principal acoustical and non-acoustical factors for road-traffic noise annoyance in Sfax, Tunisia and found that noise sensitivity, the orientation of windows of living room and/or bedroom toward the street and fear of source are the main factors of noise annoyance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the effect of building facade on indoor transportation noise annoyance in terms of frequency spectrum and expectation for sound insulation and found that the indoor noise with lower sound energy in the high frequency range produced lower annoyance than the outdoor noise for equal sound levels.

TL;DR: In this article, a fuzzily random evaluation model on the basis of annoyance rate is proposed for the human body's subjective response to vibration, with relevant fuzzy membership function and probability distribution given.
Abstract: The existing researches of the evaluation method of ride comfort of vehicle mainly focus on the level of human feelings to vibration. The level of human feelings to vibration is influenced by many factors, however, the ride comfort according to the common principle of probability and statistics and simple binary logic is unable to reflect these uncertainties. The random fuzzy evaluation model from people subjective response to vibration is adopted in the paper, these uncertainties are analyzed from the angle of psychological physics. Discussing the traditional evaluation of ride comfort during vehicle vibration, a fuzzily random evaluation model on the basis of annoyance rate is proposed for the human body’s subjective response to vibration, with relevant fuzzy membership function and probability distribution given. A half-car four degrees of freedom suspension vibration model is described, subject to irregular excitations from the road surface, with the aid of software Matlab/Simulink. A new kind of evaluation method for ride comfort of vehicles is proposed in the paper, i.e., the annoyance rate evaluation method. The genetic algorithm and neural network control theory are used to control the system. Simulation results are obtained, such as the comparison of comfort reaction to vibration environments between before and after control, relationship of annoyance rate to vibration frequency and weighted acceleration, based on ISO 2631/1(1982), ISO 2631-1(1997) and annoyance rate evaluation method, respectively. Simulated assessment results indicate that the proposed active suspension systems prove to be effective in the vibration isolation of the suspension system, and the subjective response of human being can be promoted from very uncomfortable to a little uncomfortable. Furthermore, the novel evaluation method based on annoyance rate can further estimate quantitatively the number of passengers who feel discomfort due to vibration. A new analysis method of vehicle comfort is presented.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted a social survey on community response to high-speed railway noise in Tianjin, China, from March 2018 to March 2019, and found that the proportion of Chinese residents with high noise annoyance and activity interference increased exponentially with the increase of high speed railway noise levels.
