“…Previous studies have tried to understand how attitudinal factors in neighbour noise issue should be evaluated. Park et al () used three‐question items to measure how much residents felt close to their neighbours and Park et al () used six‐question items to ask residents how they thought of their neighbours and how their relationships with the neighbours were. The studies have acknowledged that the question items were not appropriate or enough to evaluate the attitudinal factor.…”

“…Neighbour noise has been connected with increased health risks in the cardio‐vascular system, movement apparatus, depression, and migraine (Maschke & Niemann, ). In laboratory studies, the noise of neighbours’ footsteps evoked psycho‐physiological responses such as changes in heart rate and respiration rate (Park & Lee, ; Park, Lee, & Jeong, ). Neighbour noise has been particularly linked with emotional responses.…”

Aims Residents in multifamily housing are considerably exposed to neighbour noise, which can lead to neighbour disputes and even criminal violence. This study investigated how residents’ attitudes towards noisy neighbours develop and the role of such attitudes in their reactions to neighbour noise. Methods In‐depth interviews were carried out with 57 South Korean residents. The data were collected and analyzed using grounded theory methods. Concepts and categories were identified through open coding and axial coding, respectively. Results Residents’ attitudes towards the neighbours (i.e., noise source) were grouped into friends, enemies, and strangers/acquaintances. Each attitude formation was influenced by the individual's past experience/history, the attitude shown by the neighbours, and the predictability/certainty of noise exposure. Different attitudes towards the neighbours resulted in different cognitive and behavioural copings. Conclusion Given that the neighbour noise issue involves the interpersonal relationship between neighbours, the findings extend the scope of existing understanding. The paper suggests that further investigation into coping strategies would have practical implementations for reducing conflict arising from neighbour disputes.

Cross-National Comparison of Soundscape in Urban Public Open Spaces between China and Croatia

et al. 2020

There are similarities and differences between open public space soundscape evaluation in different countries, mainly due to the influence of cultural background. This paper systematically compares the effect of social-cultural context on soundscape of urban public open spaces in China and Croatia. Eleven well-known and typical squares were selected. A series of questionnaire surveys within the soundscape framework were carried out during the summer season, and gathered data were analyzed. Principal component analysis (PCA) resulted in two principal components, eventfulness and pleasantness, as notable soundscape factors. However, eventfulness is the major factor in China, and pleasantness is the major factor in Croatia. In terms of environmental satisfaction, natural condition is the major factor based on PCA. Urban condition is the second factor in China, however, it is the third factor in Croatia. It is interesting to note that the physical environment is the most important factor in Croatian inland and coastal places, which is different compared to Chinese places. Visit purpose is the dominant factor associated with sound and environmental satisfaction. Natural sound and children have mainly positive correlations to sound and environmental satisfaction in China, whereas sounds of human activities have mainly negative correlations to sound and environmental satisfaction in Croatia.

Evaluation of Building Construction-Induced Noise and Vibration Impact on Residents

et al. 2020

Environmental noise and vibration induced by building construction are increasingly prominent in daily life. If the noise and vibration level exceeds the corresponding standard limits stipulated by the country, humans' normal life, working, or studying efficiency would be interfered. This paper aims to explore how residents respond to noise and vibration mainly induced by the building construction. The noise and vibration measurements, as well as a questionnaire survey, were conducted. Through analysis and comparisons, it is shown that the noise impacts were concentrated in the area near the construction site. For the noise and vibration transmission within the building, the noise levels were amplified in the lower floors and gradually attenuated with floors, and the vibration levels decayed with the floors. The noise impact was much greater than the vibration impact. Building construction was found to be one of the most annoying noise and vibration sources, while the subway operation has little impact on residents according to either subjective or objective evaluation. The ratio of noise and vibration dissatisfaction was less than that of annoyance, which demonstrated that the residents' psychological capacity was high toward the impact of noise and vibration. The proposed dose-response relationship can apply in a similar community environment. Once the noise levels within the building obtained, the residents' noise annoyance can then be estimated.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1579 2 of 17 the cardiovascular system, nervous system, and endocrine system [7][8][9]. The effects of noise and vibrations on human beings were discussed by studying different urban areas or different types of noise and vibration sources. Typical urban areas affected by noise and vibrations include schools [10][11][12][13], offices [14,15], markets [16], airports [17,18], and metro stations [19,20]. Major sources of urban noise and vibrations include construction [21,22], road traffic [23][24][25], rail traffic [26,27] and industry [28].According to the China environmental noise and control annual report in 2018 [29], noise reports accounted for 35.3%, and ranked the second, just behind the air pollution. In the report of noise problems, building construction noise disturbed the public with a proportion of 43.0%. From noise pollution complaints, they mainly focus on construction and industrial noise, while those from social life, entertainment, and traffic systems accounting for less.On a construction site, multiple activities, such as the pile drilling, the collapse of old buildings, people shouting, can cause noise and vibration. Therefore, noise and vibration sources are diverse and often changeable. Due to the construction machines are mostly operated with no shielding around them, and the fact some of them often need to be moved, lifted, and installed, the construction-induced noise and vibrations have the characteristics of suddenness and discontinuity, easily causing annoyance and discomfort to humans. Based on the construction of a lig...
