HUMAN RESPONSE TO TRANSPORTATION NOISE AND VIBRATION

Research during the past decade at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton, on a number of aspects of human response to transport noise and vibration is reviewed. These aspects include--sonic boom, subjective acoustics, test procedures, human response to vibration, the effects of noise on performance and comfort, development of a mathematical model to determine the economic impact of achieving reduced community noise levels from aircraft, case studies of the effects on communities of aircraft noise and construction site noise.
