ROAD TRAFFIC NOISE ITS NUISANCE VALUE

METHODS OF MEASURING THE NUISANCE VALUE OF NOISE, IN PARTICULAR TNI ARE DISCUSSED. DIFFERENT INVESTIGATORS HAVE USED VARIOUS TERMS, E.G. ANNOYANCE, DISSATISFACTION, LOUDNESS, ETC., WHEN MEASURING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF NOISE. IT IS PROPOSED THAT THE OVERALL SUBJECTIVE EFFECT OF NOISE MAY BE A COMBINATION OF THESE AND OTHER FACTORS; THIS WOULD ACCOUNT FOR THE UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS OF MOST PREVIOUS WORK TO FIND A HIGH CORRELATION BETWEEN AN INDIVIDUAL SCORE ON A PSYCHOLOGICAL SCALE AND PHYSICAL NOISE MEASUREMENTS. A METHODOLOGY FOR FINDING HIGH CORRELATIONS IS SUGGESTED IN A PLAN OF RESEARCH TO BE CONDUCTED AT LOUGHBOROUGH UNIVERSITY.
