TL;DR: A study of the annoyance of aircraft noise exposure around Brazil's Guarulhos Airport found that data collection by web-based survey methods may be completed more quickly and hence, could be conducted in countries with fewer resources.
Abstract: Social surveys have been the conventional means of evaluating the annoyance caused by transportation noise. Sampling and interviewing by telephone, mail, or in person are often costly and time consuming, however. Data collection by web-based survey methods are less costly and may be completed more quickly, and hence, could be conducted in countries with fewer resources. Such methods, however, raise issues about the generalizability and comparability of findings. These issues were investigated in a study of the annoyance of aircraft noise exposure around Brazil's Guarulhos Airport. The findings of 547 interviews obtained with the aid of Facebook advertisements and web-based forms were analysed with respect to estimated aircraft noise exposure levels at respondents' residences. The results were analysed to assess whether and how web-based surveys might yield generalizable noise dose-response relationships.

TL;DR: Results show a high contribution of Noise exposure and Noise sensitivity to Noise annoyance, as well as a causal relationship between noise annoyance and lower Dwelling satisfaction, and the Visibility of noise source may increase noise annoyance, even when the visible noise source is different from the annoying source under study.
Abstract: Structural equation modeling was used to analyze partial and total in situ annoyance in combined transportation noise situations. A psychophysical total annoyance model and a perceptual total annoyance model were proposed. Results show a high contribution of Noise exposure and Noise sensitivity to Noise annoyance, as well as a causal relationship between noise annoyance and lower Dwelling satisfaction. Moreover, the Visibility of noise source may increase noise annoyance, even when the visible noise source is different from the annoying source under study. With regards to total annoyance due to road traffic noise combined with railway or aircraft noise, even though in both situations road traffic noise may be considered background noise and the other noise source event noise, the contribution of road traffic noise to the models is greater than railway noise and smaller than aircraft noise. This finding may be explained by the difference in sound pressure levels between these two types of combined exposures or by the aircraft noise level, which may also indicate the city in which the respondents live. Finally, the results highlight the importance of sample size and variable distribution in the database, as different results can be observed depending on the sample or variables considered.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided a further test of the adequacy of Leq as a descriptor of annoyance for road traffic sounds and compared the annoyance caused by the impulse sounds (G) with the annoyance due to road traffic sound (T).
Abstract: As a method of rating sounds with respect to the expected community response, ISO(1971). ISO R 1996, ‘‘Assessment of noise with respect to community response’’ (International organization for Standarization, Switzerland), recommends the measurement of the A‐weighted equivalent sound level Leq. The usefulness of Leq for road‐traffic sounds has been demonstrated in various studies. For impulse sounds, however, research into the adequacy of Leq has been very limited. The present laboratory study provides a further test of the adequacy of Leq as a descriptor of annoyance. In one condition, all impulse sounds had the same level, whereas in the other eight conditions the levels of the impulses could differ either by 6 or by 12 dB. The proportions of the impulses with high or low sound levels were 90% vs 10%, 75% vs 25%, and vice versa. Sixteen subjects compared the annoyance caused by the impulse sounds (G) with the annoyance due to road‐traffic sounds (T). They adjusted the level of either T or G in such a way...
