Book Description
For various aircraft flyovers, speech intelligibility scores and calculations of AI (Articulation Index) were obtained as functions of time. These data were then used to establish the relation between AI and intelligibility for time-varying noise. A similar relation was also obtained for steady-state simulated jet noise. A comparison of the two relations showed that for a given AI, the time-varying noise provided less masking than the steady-state noise. The difference found between the two relations cautions against the use of relations established for steady-state noise to predict intelligibility scores that might be obtained with time-varying noise. The aircraft flyovers employed in the intelligibility tests were also presented to listeners who were asked to rate them in terms of their acceptability in the home. Using a rating scale having the categories 'of no concern, ' 'acceptable, ' 'barely acceptable, ' and 'unacceptable, ' judgments were obtained in three listening situations: (1) in the presence of radio-TV speech; (2) in the absence of speech; and (3) in the presence of telephone speech.

The Speech Interference Effects of Aircrft Noise
A Guide To U.S. Aircraft Noise Regulatory Policy
Author: Sanford Fidell
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030399087
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Aviation noise remains the primary hindrance to expansion of airport and airspace capacity in the United States. This book describes the development and practice of U.S. aircraft noise regulation, as well as the practical consequences of regulatory policy. Starting in the pre-jet transport era, the book traces the development of the modern framework for characterizing, standardizing, predicting, disclosing, and mitigating aircraft noise and its effects on airport-vicinity communities. Among other matters, the book treats noise-related consequences of the 1978 deregulation of the airline industry; prediction and mitigation of community reaction to airport noise; land use compatibility planning; recent research and industry trends; and some suggestions for potential improvements to current policy. Initial chapters describe the assumptions underlying aircraft noise regulation, and lay out the chronology of U.S. aircraft noise regulatory practice. Later chapters provide overviews of population-level effects of aviation noise, including health effects, speech and sleep interference, and annoyance. Readers will learn why predictions of the prevalence of aircraft noise-induced annoyance have systematically underestimated adverse community response to aircraft noise, and how such underestimation has complicated approval and funding of airport and airspace improvement projects. They will also learn why attempts at noise-compatible land use planning are seldom fully successful.

Effects of Interior Aircraft Noise on Speech Intelligibility and Annoyance
Author: Karl S. Pearsons

ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Recordings of the aircraft ambiance from ten different types of aircraft were used in conjunction with four distinct speech interference tests as stimuli to determine the effects of interior aircraft background levels and speech intelligibility on perceived annoyance in 36 subjects. Both speech intelligibility and background level significantly affected judged annoyance. However, the interaction between the two variables showed that above an 85 db background level the speech intelligibility results had a minimal effect on annoyance ratings. Below this level, people rated the background as less annoying if there was adequate speech intelligibility.
