Study on the Acoustic Environment in Station Concourses for Elderly People
Investigation was conducted on the noise level of station concourses due to the fact that the noise level in present stations has become increasingly large. A subjective examination and questionnaire about the acoustical environment for elderly people was carried out in station concourses. Few differences in the word recognition score are seen in the listening comprehension examination at all the test site locations. The authors thus find that it is easy for elderly people to comprehend words when the signal-noise ratio is 10 dB or more at a station.
