| Popis: | An overview is provided of multilevel modeling of community noise annoyance. By multilevel, it is meant that noise exposure and noise tolerance vary on the community level, and among individuals within the communities. Although these assumptions are rather simple, they lead to a rigorous statistical model with characteristics consistent with noise survey data. Regression analyses with a multilevel, generalized linear model (GLM) enable the model parameters and their variations at the community and individual levels to be distinguished and quantified. Based on a meta-analysis of transportation noise, the community-level and individual-level noise tolerance variances are both evident, although the individual-level variance is stronger. The significance of community-level variance is consistent with the recently introduced concept of community tolerance level (CTL). Although the multilevel model describes and quantifies the community-level variations, it does not by itself explain why communities differ, or how to account for these differences in regulations. Future research should address the relationships between community tolerance variations and factors such as soundscape disturbance and attitude toward the most prominent noise sources.An overview is provided of multilevel modeling of community noise annoyance.
