The relation between the physical characteristics of sound and an individual's perception of it as annoyance is complex and unclear. Sleep disturbance by sound is manifested in the physiological responses to the sound stimuli and the quality of sleep perceived in the morning. Both may result in dete

The action of courtyard houses in reducing the noise nuisance from road traffic is examined using the techniques of computer simulation and acoustic scale modelling. This building form is found to be capable of reducing the noise level experienced within a protected space (indoor or outdoor) by a si
A comparatively simple method for predicting the excess attenuation of traffic noise from individual motor vehicles is derived. The method is equally useful for depressed, level and elevated roads with and without barriers and all geometrical dimensions can be chosen arbitrarily. Finally it is shown
of a variety of tasks. However, it would appear that this form of display demands more of the operator's attention than other forms of indication. Finally it is pointed out that a number of additional problems relating to numerical displays are in need of investigation. 1.3.53(54004) Smith, F., Lott
This paper presents a calculation of the amount of increased noise level in a room due to flanking transmission and of the largest attainable value of sound insulation of the room when the additional sound insulation of a barrier construction is as large as possible. Vibration transmission coefficie
