Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four experiments were conducted on the effects of broadband, high intensity noise on human performance. In two experiments the subjects' performance was measured on a Discrimination Task, based primarily upon visual discrimination and short term memory, and in the other two experiments performance was measured on a Hand-Tool Dexterity Test. Four different noise exposure conditions were used in each experiment: control (70 dB), 120 dB, 130 dB, and 140 dB (re 0.0002 dyne/sq cm). In one experiment using the Discrimination Task, the subjects wore earplugs, and in the other, subjects wore earplugs and an earmuff with one earcup to produce an asymmetrical noise exposure at the ears. These two types of ear protectors were worn also by the subjects in the two experiments using the Hand-Tool Dexterity Task. Decrements on the Discrimination Task were obtained at the two highest noise intensities for the asymmetrical exposure and no decrements were obtained for any symmetrical exposure. With the Hand-Tool Dexterity Test, significant decrements were obtained at the noise levels of 130 dB and 140 dB with symmetrical exposure, and at 140 dB with the asymmetrical exposure. The difference in performance between the two groups was due to a different initial level of ability on the task rather than due to symmetrical versus asymmetrical exposure conditions. The results indicate that asymmetrical exposure had a greater detrimental effect on the Discrimination Task than the symmetrical exposure, while there was no differential effect on the Hand-Tool Dexterity Test. These results are discussed as a possible effect of the action of high intensity noise on the vestibular system.

Book excerpt: From the Nobel Prize-winning author of Thinking, Fast and Slow and the coauthor of Nudge, a revolutionary exploration of why people make bad judgments and how to make better ones—"a tour de force” (New York Times). Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients—or that two judges in the same courthouse give markedly different sentences to people who have committed the same crime. Suppose that different interviewers at the same firm make different decisions about indistinguishable job applicants—or that when a company is handling customer complaints, the resolution depends on who happens to answer the phone. Now imagine that the same doctor, the same judge, the same interviewer, or the same customer service agent makes different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday. These are examples of noise: variability in judgments that should be identical. In Noise, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein show the detrimental effects of noise in many fields, including medicine, law, economic forecasting, forensic science, bail, child protection, strategy, performance reviews, and personnel selection. Wherever there is judgment, there is noise. Yet, most of the time, individuals and organizations alike are unaware of it. They neglect noise. With a few simple remedies, people can reduce both noise and bias, and so make far better decisions. Packed with original ideas, and offering the same kinds of research-based insights that made Thinking, Fast and Slow and Nudge groundbreaking New York Times bestsellers, Noise explains how and why humans are so susceptible to noise in judgment—and what we can do about it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Effects of Noise on Man covers the techniques for the evaluation of environmental noise in terms of its effects on human. The book provides the fundamental definitions of sound, its measurement, and concepts of the basic functioning, and the attributes of the auditory system. The text also presents along with their experimental basis, procedures for estimating from physical measures of noise its effects on man's auditory system and speech communications. The last part of the book is devoted to man's nonauditory system responses and includes information about the effects of noise on work performance, sleep, feelings of pain, vision, and blood circulation.
