SCALING LOUDNESS, NOISINESS, AND ANNOYANCE OF AIRCRAFT NOISE

Tests are made on human capabilities to differentiate and to scale aircraft noise with regard to three psychological attributes encountered in social survey research on ambient noise. Observers in carefully designed laboratory situations were able to use and produce scales of loudness, noisiness, and annoyance for aircraft noise. In general, such noise was judged to be more annoying than noisy and more noisy than loud.
