“…The experiment took place at a laboratory of the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology. In a previous study [1], we utilized a Virtual Reality Head-Mounted Display (VR-HMD) and identified its advantages and limitations. Our findings indicated that while the VR-HMD provided an immersive experience, the device's tight fit around the participant's head resulted in discomfort and fatigue.…”

Neighbor noise in multifamily housing is a major social issue in South Korea. It not only causes complaints but also disputes between residents. While a great deal of subjective noise reactions are influenced by non-acoustic variables, little attention has been paid to the role of visual factors. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effects of visual stimuli on neighbor noise perception and physiological responses. Conducting laboratory experiments, the study presented participants with an identical neighbor noise stimulus of footstep noise from upstairs, while it varied the visual stimuli. The visual stimuli consisted of living rooms that differed in the type of space or the size of windows and floor area. The study measured participants' noise perception and physiological responses. The findings provide new insights into the complex nature of neighbor noise perception and suggest that visual factors play a significant role in how residents respond to neighbor noise.

Noise sensitivity is a crucial factor affecting subjective psychophysiological responses to the acoustic environment of various indoor and outdoor spaces. This study examines how noise sensitivity or hyperacusis affects the recovery of emotional and autonomic nervous system (ANS) responses when experiencing various monoscopic 360 video and stereoscopic sound environments (urban and natural) that represent the actual environment. A total of 60 general participants with mild depression, stress, and anxiety were examined using a survey to investigate individual characteristics, including noise sensitivity, and K-means clustering was used to classify them into sensitivity groups. Emotional and physiological responses were measured using the Korean edition of Profile of Mood States and by assessing heart rate variability, respectively. Overall, the emotional recovery effect was greater in the natural than the urban environment, and the homeostatic mechanism of the ANS was better maintained, thereby increasing stress resistance. Noise sensitivity did not have considerable effect on psychophysiological recovery in the natural environment, but had a significant effect on emotional response in the urban environment. This can be used as basic data in seeking customized emotional recovery for individuals using monoscopic 360 video and stereoscopic sound technology in the future.
