This book was released on 1961 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To determine preliminary relationships between variations in acoustic situations and disturbance, annoyance, and complaint potentials, personal interviews were held with almost 2500 residents at different air bases. The detailed acoustic conditions at three of these bases were measured. From these studies, the instruments and procedures for assessing neighborhood reactions have been fully developed, pretested, and validated. The data has provided valuable findings and the development of prototype statistical models for estimating neighborhood disturbance, annoyance, and complaint readiness. Community reactions are directly related to the intensity of the noise levels. A person is more disturbed, annoyed, and ready to complain if he is fearful of crashes and feels the air base is less important to local welfare and is less considerate of neighborhood feelings. Greatly disturbed people are also less satisfied with general living conditions in their areas, are more sensitive to noise of cars and trucks, and have less experience with flying. Time by itself has been proved no automatic cure of the annoyance problem. People who have lived near air bases longer are even more bothered by the airplane noise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this publication is to report on a series of research workshops which examined the place of environmental perception in a comprehensive system of indices for assessing and monitoring trends in environmental quality. The specific objectives of the workshops were to: (1) define the state-of-the-art in research on perception of environmental quality and identify salient conceptual and methodological issues; (2) delineate potential uses of perceived environmental quality indices (PEQIs) and related issues regarding ways in which PEQIs might enhance implementation, revision, or refinement of policy orientations; (3) identify the types of research which would assess adequately the efficacy of the development and the application of PEQIs; and (4) out line a realistic, pragmatic research strategy that relates to potential uses and identified policy issues. The workshops were supported by 'a grant from the National Science Foundation, No. GSOC75-0782, and were held during the spring and summer of 1975 in Amherst, Massachusetts, and New York City. Contributed chapters for this volume were commissioned with funds from the Institute for Man and Environment, University of Massachusetts. Scientific contributors to the understanding of environmental per ception have increased substantially over the last decade, along with recognition that this realm of knowledge is crucial for an informed perspective on-the impact of man on the environment. At the same time, there exists general consensus that the field remains diffuse and uncoor dinated (Lowenthal, 1972b).
Download or read book The Impact of Noise Pollution written by George Bugliarello and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-05-18 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Impact of Noise Pollution: A Socio-Technological Introduction explores the areas that contribute to the generation of noise in the environment. Also covered are the different aspects of human life that is being affected by daily exposure to noise. Issues such as the increasing number of people who have impaired hearing are also addressed in the book. The book first gives an introduction to the threats being posed by noise, followed by topics such as the awareness of the people on the detrimental effect of noise; overall effects of noise on the whole body; and effects of noise on the condition of sleep. The sources of noise, such as the surface transportation and motor vehicle, are extensively discussed. Negative psychological effects of noise are also covered. The final chapter of the book is about the reduction of noise produced by motor vehicles. The text is a comprehensive source of information about noise intended for the general reader.
Download or read book Noise Pollution written by Clifford R. Bragdon and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this handbook on a growing public menace, Clifford R. Bragdon applies acoustical engineering and social science to the least understood—yet one of the most serious—environmental hazards of modern society. This book is a precision tool; it gives facts and figures, precise scientific measurements, and accurate data on what noise is, what it does, and how to combat it. The author pinpoints the noise levels—many of them illegal—of automobiles, buses, subways, airplanes, household appliances, and children's toys in numerous charts and tables and relates these data to the measurable social, physical, and psychological damage they do to human beings. He catalogues the "noise-free" claims of manufacturers of these products in an Appendix that speaks for itself. A thorough case study of an area near Philadelphia International Airport and other townships, including five hundred households, the author evaluates existing noise abatement programs on local, state, and federal levels, and finds most of them seriously inadequate. As steps toward the solution to the noise crisis, he proposes a system for rating environmental health, new approaches to community noise management, and a variety of architectural suggestions. The bibliography—probably the most complete and up-to-date source collection on the subject ever assembled—is an invaluable reference work in itself. It lists over five hundred sources, arranged in six major categories: Noise, General; Physical Effects; Psycho-Social Effects; Law; Noise Abatement; and Noise Sources. Noise Pollution is indispensable not only for the concerned citizen but for all those who can, and must, take immediate and effective action in our unquiet crisis: urban planners, architects, hospital administrators, public health officials, transportation executives, lawyers, realtors, sound engineers, manufacturers of transportation equipment and household appliances, and community leaders. It is a vital resource in dealing with the noise crisis that is destroying pleasure, lowering work performance, eroding health, causing physical injury, and even challenging basic human survival.

Book excerpt: The reaction to aircraft noise of people in communities near air bases and in air base offices is described. Four kinds of material are offered: (a) several earlier procedures, studies, and data collections are summarized; (b) additional analysis is presented of results from the concurrent sociopsychological interview studies (by the National Opinion Research center) and noise environment studies (by this contractor) in areas near three Air Force bases, highlighting considerations of the physical environment and the aircraft operations; (c) new data, with results from earlier studies are presented on the reactions of office workers to noise; (d) conclusions are stated regarding the applicability of various available means for predicting reaction to noise intrusion. Several adaptations of the TN 57-10 procedures are derived, to incorporate the preceived noisiness work and implications from the NORC results. This report discusses reactions to noise produced by aircraft in military operations. Although many of the concepts and relationships should have application to noise problems in civil aviation and industry, important differences may exist both in the noise stimulus an the attitude of people.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is one of a series describing the research program undertaken by the Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory to develop procedures for predicting community noise exposure resulting from aircraft operations. This report outlines the acoustic measurement test conditions, the acoustic data reduction and interpretation procedures, and the type of aircraft performance information needed to obtain a noise data file for predicting the noise produced by aircraft operations. The procedures result in the descriptions of the noise of an aircraft in terms of the effective perceived noise level, the sound exposure level and several other noise measures. Level flight measurements and static engine noise tests are described, and are applicable to conventional fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.
