“…In a study carried out on the effects of noise on sports officials by Flamme and Williams (2013), it was observed that at 104 dBA an unprotected official is at risk of hearing loss. According to Ammon et al, 2015, there are various ways of spending leisure times. Fig 9 showed the matrix plots which are the graphical representation of the correlation of variables.…”

Noise pollution is an environmental problem due to its effect on hearing and other related health issues. The elevated noise levels above standard limits cause hearing loss and other attendant problems. In Nigeria, viewing centers where football matches are watched via satellite are known as 'Mini Stadium'. In this study, the noise pollution of a viewing center was assessed. To do this, five top teams each from the English Premier League (EPL), La Liga, Bundesliga, League 1, and Serie A were selected for the assessment. A sound level meter (GB: 2266204, made in China) was used for the monitoring. The range of noise levels in dBA showed as follow: EPL (56-108); La Liga (46-106); Bundesliga (54-102); Serie A (49-101); and Ligue 1 (54-101). The results when compared with the standard limits, it was observed that part of the results exceeded the limits, this means that the viewers and others within the viewing center may be prone to the hearing problem. It is recommended that acoustic insulators and hearing aids should be used to reduce the attendant problems associated with noise.

“…At Arrowhead Stadium on September 29, 2014, decibel levels reached 142.2 during an NFL game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots, shattering the previous record of 137.6 set in December 2013 during a game between the Seattle Seahawks and the New Orleans Saints in the National Football League. Coaches in Arrowhead reported feeling the earth shake and hearing ringing in the uncovered ear of their headsets [17][18]. Recent Americans with Disabilities Act judgments require stadiums and arenas to provide closed captions for the hearing impaired since music and sound have become such a vital part of the fan experience.…”

It is vital that people concentrate and focus on the types of sports and amenities in the context of sports facilities to provide acoustic comfort for players and fans. Thus, influences the positive or negative psychological and emotional impact experience during the sports matches. Esports events are mostly organized in enclosed spaces facilities such as indoor arenas or stadiums, which are spaces where speech intelligibility and noise level determine, to a large extent, the listening comfort or even the safety of the occupants. More noise may distract players throughout the match and during the match, interfering with their performance and communication with coaches if there is no proper sound blocking or insulation. This research will look at critical literature studies of the defining elements and criteria for this occurrence to develop a conceptual framework for how players, coaches, and spectators experienced acoustic comfort in various types of Esports venue. The primary goal of this research is to clarify the differences in Esports venue design and the determining factors that influence human acoustic comfort. As a result, the goal of this study is to create a framework based on the elements that determine acoustic comfort classification in Esports venues. Designers and architects able to utilize this framework as a guide to assist them prepare estimates of acoustic conditions and corrective activities in Esports venue which tailored suited to players, as well as the effects on staffs and spectators, thus create a highly immersive experience.

“…One mechanism that may specifically interfere with the ability of animals to transmit acoustic information is the globally increasing occurrence of acoustic pollution (hereafter referred to as anthropogenic noise). This pollutant is present in both aquatic (McDonald et al 2006) and terrestrial biomes (Watts et al 2007), with its potential impacts being partially due to the abundance and diversity of it sources, such as transport networks (Lee et al 2014), development projects (Lee et al 2015), and high densities of people (Ammon et al 2015).…”

Anthropogenic noise disrupts mate searching in Gryllus bimaculatus

2018

We found that female field crickets, which use male acoustic signals to locate mates, were unable to do so when exposed to human generated noise. The amplitude (volume) of the noise was shown to not be causing this effect alone. As similar acoustic behaviors are used by a variety of animals, and as human generated acoustic pollution is becoming more prevalent, these findings have important implications for mate location systems throughout the animal kingdom.
