✦ Synopsis

A method is described which can be used to estimate the loudness of noise nuisance when the noise in question apparently contains a discrete tone detectable by the human ear but not by instruments. A specific problem is considered and it is shown how the method was used to assess the improvement obtained when steps were taken to reduce the level of the discrete tone. The results indicate that the method is a valid one.
