✦ Synopsis

A case of noise sensitivity with a five-year follow-up period is reported. The patient was a 34-year-old single man who was diagnosed as having psychosomatic disorder triggered by two stressful life events in rapid succession with secondary hypersensitivity to noise. Hypersensitivity to light and cold also developed later in the clinical course. The auditory threshold was within the normal range. The discomfort threshold as a measure of the noise sensitivity secondary to mental illness was measured repeatedly using test tone of audiometry. The discomfort threshold varied depending upon his mental status, ranging from 40-50 dB in the comparatively poorer mental state to 70-95 dB in the relatively good mental state. The features of noise sensitivity, including that secondary to mental illness, are discussed.

## Abstract The sensitivity and resolution of flow cytometers are functions of the signal produced by a given particle as well as by the noise in the presence of which the signal is detected. The noise is primarily due to the fact that emission of light as well as its detection by photoelectric dev

A review of Shinkansen noise and methods for its control is given. In the process of controlling the noise, it has been found that many types of noise are generated from various parts of cars and other installations. These include rolling noise, bridge structure noise, pantograph spark noise, pantog
