Recent progress in the field of community response to noise
conference paper
This paper aims to review the progress within the field of the community response to noise
and noise annoyance based on peer-reviewed publications in the past three years (2014 to
2017). Developments include an increased focus on local or case-specific as opposed to
generalized exposure-response relationships to predict noise annoyance, as well as a
renewed interest in the influence of temporal and spectral characteristics on the annoyance at
a given noise level. In addition, new research has been published on annoyance due to
railway noise and vibration, as well as on wind turbine noise annoyance. Furthermore, some
studies have investigated effects on annoyance of interventions to reduce noise, while some
have focused on individual differences in noise sensitivity and annoyance. New insights from
recent studies on each of these topics are discussed.
