“…In addition to ascertaining the respondents' level of annoyance towards the overall transportation noise using a 7-point numeric scale (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7), the questionnaire also obtained information on four main areas including: (1) the degree of noisiness of the acoustic environment in their dwellings as perceived by the respondents (which is called ''perceived noisiness" in this study) and their personal noise sensitivity; (2) residents' satisfaction with their living environment; (3) their attitude towards road traffic and railway as a mode of transport; and (4) the impact of transportation noise on their daily activities such as watching TV, conversation, sleep and concentration. Fifteen-minute sound level measurements were also made using a Brüel & Kjr model 2236 Sound Pressure Level Meter at all dwellings where the questionnaire survey was administered at 1 m from the fac ßade of the residences.…”

“…A number of studies have been undertaken to contrast road traffic and railway noises through either social surveys [7][8][9][10][11] or simulated laboratory experiments [2,3,12,13]. Railway noise has been found to be less annoying in many European studies [7,10,11,14,15].…”

“…Most previous studies of human noise-annoyance response to transportation noise focused on the reaction to single noise sources, such as aircraft, road traffic and railway [1][2][3][4]. With the development of multiple transportation systems in cities, it is imperative to understand how the urban population responds to multi-source transportation noises [5,6].…”

“…Simulated environment experiments, either in laboratory (e.g., [14,15]) or in field (e.g., [16]), allow one to approach real-life situations when investigating the influence on annoyance of acoustical and non-acoustical factors under controlled conditions: Participants are placed in a room furnished like a typical living room, and they can perform activities while exposed to noise sequences. For example, the simulated environment is useful to study the influence of some non-acoustical factors on annoyance under controlled conditions such as the type of activity carried out during the noise exposure and its disturbance which may be more difficult to assess through surveys (e.g., [17]).…”

Total annoyance due to combined noises is still difficult to predict adequately. This scientific gap is an obstacle for noise action planning, especially in urban areas where inhabitants are usually exposed to high noise levels from multiple sources. In this context, this work aims to highlight potential to enhance the prediction of total annoyance. The work is based on a simulated environment experiment where participants performed activities in a living room while exposed to combined road traffic and industrial noises. The first objective of the experiment presented in this paper was to gain further understanding of the effects on annoyance of some acoustical factors, non-acoustical factors and potential interactions between the combined noise sources. The second one was to assess total annoyance models constructed from the data collected during the experiment and tested using data gathered in situ. The results obtained in this work highlighted the superiority of perceptual models. In particular, perceptual models with an interaction term seemed to be the best predictors for the two combined noise sources under study, even with high differences in sound pressure level. Thus, these results reinforced the need to focus on perceptual models and to improve the prediction of partial annoyances.

Noise annoyance models using only mean energy-based indices provide weak prediction. Actually various factors influence noise annoyance. different studies from the literature are carried out in laboratory conditions to understand some factors with the long-term aim of enhancing noise annoyance models. Laboratory experiments of assessing noise annoyance are based on imaginary or simulated context. The method with imaginary context is often questioned as participants listen to noise sequences. The current study aims at comparing the two methods in terms of total annoyance model testing. It revealed that annoyance models, respectively built within imaginary and simulated contexts, provided similar prediction when they were tested using in-field annoyance responses. Thus, the laboratory method with imaginary context seems to be as suitable as the method with simulated context to assess annoyance in laboratory conditions.
