MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYSES OF JUDGMENTS ABOUT TRAFFIC NOISE

Experiments were made to determine the aspects of traffic noise that are most important to human observers.

Aversiveness to sounds was related mainly to their subjective intensity. The importance is shown of a quantity called the energy-equivalent sound level.
