    Impact sound is reported as one of the most disturbing noise sources in lightweight buildings, yet its perceptual mechanisms remain insufficiently understood. Existing evidence indicates that annoyance depends strongly on the type of impact source, while correlations with single-number ratings are often weak. In particular, low-frequency components – typically underrepresented in standardized...

    A03 Building Acoustics

    In order to define appropriate mitigation measures to limit noise and vibration due to railway transportation in residential areas, annoyance criteria have to be precisely defined. In this context, the aim of the VibAcouPhysio project is to explore the potential of physiological measurements to objectivate the perceived annoyance. In a first step, the VibAcouPhysio project investigated the...

    Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) strongly influences occupants’ health, comfort, and productivity. Therefore, it is essential to study the factors that determine the quality of the indoor environment, which typically pertain to the thermal, visual, acoustic, and air quality domains. In this context, efforts have been made to address possible cross-domain effects among multiple IEQ factors....

  4. 3901. Towards a Standardized Method for Assessing the Acoustic Environment in Residential Buildings Through Perception Surveys (FA2026/549)

    A03 Building Acoustics

    The acoustic classification methods for residential dwellings—and particularly the one developed in the ISO/FD 19488 Technical Specification—employ several performance indicators to characterize the acoustic quality of housing. In order to better correlate occupants' perceptions with these indicators and, ultimately, with acoustic classes, a new Documentation Fascicle (FD S30-109) establishes...
