Abstract
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.
