โฆ Synopsis
The concept of sound character is introduced as a physical attribute responsible for any systematic differences in annoyance due to different sounds at the same .4weighted equivalent sound level. It is thought that this sound character is more important at low sound levels than at high ones..4 pilot experiment with refrigerator sounds indicated a clear effect of sound character. In particular, sharp onsets were shown to worsen the character of such sounds.
