PRESSURE LEQ AND MULTIPLE NOISE SOURCES: A COMPARISON OF EXPOSURE-RESPONSE RELATIONSHIPS FOR RAILWAY NOISE AND ROAD TRAFFIC NOISE

Exposure-response relationships vary with different noise sources when conventional loudness is used as the noise exposure measure. Further, reported annoyance to multiple noise source environments can be higher than predicted by conventional loudness. Pressure loudness is proposed as a superior unified noise index and some evidence is presented in support of this proposal.
