Acoustic comfort is a concept hardly described in the literature. But it has been used in
engineering typically to refer to low noise or annoyance in order to invoke no discomfort …

The concept of acoustic comfort is hardly defined and used to refer to conditions of low noise
levels or annoyance based on standardized descriptors. Airborne and impact sound …

A survey and a laboratory experiment were conducted to investigate the influence of noise
sensitivity on the annoyance caused by indoor residential noises and outdoor traffic noise …

Health evaluation of the indoor environment is an important part of the housing study. During
the recent COVID-19 lockdown and the increase of longer indoor stays pose a measured …

A quantification model concerning overall dissatisfaction from multiple noise sources in
residential buildings and underlying assumptions were presented. The model was …

Psychoacoustical and autocorrelation function (ACF) parameters were employed to describe
the temporal fluctuations of refrigerator noise during starting, transition into/from the …

Psychoacoustic experiments were performed to investigate head-related transfer function
(HRTF) and head-mounted display (HMD) effects, to develop a new virtual-reality (VR) …

This study investigated the relation between annoyance and single-number quantities to
rate heavy-weight floor impact sound insulation. Laboratory experiments were conducted to …

The sound isolation efficiencies of structural materials in reinforced concrete structures, in
which floor impact noise was considered as the major source of residents' complaints were …

This study investigated objective and subjective evaluations of heavyweight floor impact
sounds. The autocorrelation function (ACF) parameters and sound quality (SQ) metrics were …
