Description
In the dense modern cities it is very common that multiple noise sources occur at the same time. The total annoyance of all of them is related to the annoyance of each type of noise itself. However, the annoyance of the one type of noise presented alone can differ from the same noise presented in the richer context. To investigate this phenomenon road, tram and aircraft noise were presented to listeners as single and combined noise scenarios. Results showed that while keeping the same levels, mainly tram and sometimes aircraft noise are rated higher when presented together with road traffic noise while the latter is rated similarly in both contexts.
