The components of human reaction to noise have been studied extensively in the laboratory, but have been less assessed in the real world. This paper describes a theoretical framework and practical application of some novel techniques for assessing human reaction under field conditions. Data collection techniques never before applied in this context included (1) 24-hour diary (recall), and (2) paired-comparison method to determine an individual's relative value of noise/ quiet. These techniques were utilized as part of a survey instrument, or questionnaire, which was administered to a small group of subjects in a preliminary test. The survey was tested in four different residential sites in conjunction with a pilot test of a system for assessing community noise and individual noise exposure and reaction to this exposure. [The study was supported jointly by the Department of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency.] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
