Book Description
Statistics of the variability of subjective judgments of the loudness and noisiness of pure tones and complex sounds as studied in the laboratory and in the field are presented. An analysis of possible sources or causes of this variability is made in terms of test-retest reliability, differences among subjects, type of sounds judged and experimental method used in obtaining judgments. Possible contributions to variability of judgments due to differences in the size of the external ear and the thresholds of auditory sensitivity at different sound frequencies for different age groups are discussed. Word intelligibility tests at various intensity levels were administered to a crew of trained listeners in the presence of recorded noise from jet and propeller-driven aircraft. The noise was that which would be present outdoors and in a house as the result of engine run-up operations and when the aircraft were flying overhead shortly after take-off and prior to landing. Methods of measuring or evaluating aircraft noise predict the results of the speech tests in the following order of merit, from best to worse: (1) Articulation Index (AI); (2) and (3) perceived noise level in PNdB and Speech Interference Level (SIL) (SIL and PNdB appear to predict the masking of speech about equally well); (4) Noise Criteria (NC); (5) overall SPL, A scale; and (6) overall sound pressure level, C scale.

Book Description
A comparison between common aircraft noise measures such as composite perceived noise level (PNLC), maximum perceived noise level (PNLM), A-weighted level, D-weighted level and noise exposure level (NEL), and the corresponding effective perceived noise level (EPNL) was made. Differences between EPNL and each of these measures were computed for the 727, KC-135, 707-320B, and DC-9 aircraft for three take-off and four approach operational procedures. (Author).

Book Description
The report reviews empirical studies involving human response to commercial aircraft/airport noise. The review was limited to studies that involved response to actual or recorded flyover signals of conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft. Study summaries are provided for the studies reviewed. These summaries included study aim, number of subjects, type of aircraft signals, and results. Study methods identified were laboratory, field studies, social survey approach, complaint studies, damage risk, interference type studies, and combination methods. Laboratory methods have dominated research work in this area and with the exception of the social survey and complaint methods, emphasis has been on response to individual flyover events. A few recent studies have studied response to number of events over time, particularly interference type studies. Research needs are identified emphasizing the more realistic methods which investigate human response to multiple events over time.
