TL;DR: It is concluded that the sample population is more likely to express higher levels of annoyance if the vibration source is construction compared to railway, and if vibration-induced rattle is audible.
Abstract: The present research quantifies the influence of source type and the presence of audible vibration-induced rattle on annoyance caused by vibration in residential environments. The sources of vibration considered are railway and the construction of a light rail system. Data were measured in the United Kingdom using a socio-vibration survey (N = 1281). These data are analyzed using ordinal logit models to produce exposure-response relationships describing community annoyance as a function of vibration exposure. The influence of source type and the presence of audible vibration-induced rattle on annoyance are investigated using dummy variable analysis, and quantified using odds–ratios and community tolerance levels. It is concluded that the sample population is more likely to express higher levels of annoyance if the vibration source is construction compared to railway, and if vibration-induced rattle is audible.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the annoyance due to low frequency noise, 75 subjects (consisting of 21 complainants and 54 controls) carried out a magnitude estimation task and rated the annoyance of lower-level low-frequency noise (55dB-75dB).
Abstract: In a study of the annoyance due to low frequency noise, 75 subjects (consisting of 21 complainants and 54 controls) carried out a magnitude estimation task and rated the annoyance due to lower-level low frequency noise (55dB–75dB). After allowing for a threshold effect, it was found that the E-weighted sound pressure level was, in general, the best predictor of lower-level low frequency noise annoyance. However, it was not a significantly better predictor than any of the other nine noise measures considered. The widely available dB(A) noise measure was therefore suggested as a useful predictor of group annoyance due to lower-level low frequency noise.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the noise levels around Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport and Ankara Esenboga Airport by using annoyance and sleep-disturbance indices and found that the urbanization near the airports increases the noise reduction cost and public health problems.

TL;DR: This study found that visitors tend to be less annoyed by aircraft noise if they remember learning that they could hear or see aircraft while in the Park, and shows the importance of informing visitors about possible aircraft overflights - i.e., managing visitor expectations.
Abstract: : This study was initiated as part of the cooperative US Air Force/National Park Service efforts to understand and effectively manage the potential adverse effects military air crew training can have on the National Parks. Through simultaneous sound data acquisition and Park user interviews, data were collected that provided a basis for determining how military jet overflights can affect visitor experience at a site in White Sands National Monument, New Mexico. Several useful findings resulted from the analysis. First, visitors can distinguish between the concepts of "annoyance" and "interference" produced by aircraft sound. Annoyance is an emotional reaction, while interference is more of an objective judgment. Visitors can find that the sound of aircraft interferes with the natural soundscape, but are not necessarily annoyed. Visitors believe annoyance results if the interference is often or severe enough. Second, visitors tend to be less annoyed by aircraft noise if they remember learning that they could hear or see aircraft while in the Park. This finding shows the importance of informing visitors about possible aircraft overflights - i.e., managing visitor expectations. Finally, aircraft noise is likely to produce less annoyance if aircraft fly over in close succession, rather than widely spaced, one at a time.
