Title: | The effects of neighborhood views containing multiple environmental features on road traffic noise perception at dwellings | Authors: | Leung, TM Xu, JM Chau, CK Tang, SK Pun-Cheng, LSC |
Issue Date: | Apr-2017 | Source: | Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Apr. 2017, v. 141, no. 4, p. 2399-2407 | Abstract: | The importance of non-acoustical factors including the type of visual environment on human noise perception becomes increasingly recognized. In order to reveal the relationships between long-term noise annoyance and different types of neighborhood views, 2033 questionnaire responses were collected for studying the effect of perceptions of different combinations of views of sea, urban river, greenery, and/ or noise barrier on the annoyance responses from residents living in high-rise apartments in Hong Kong. The collected responses were employed to formulate a multivariate model to predict the probability of invoking a high annoyance response from residents. Results showed that views of sea, urban river, or greenery could lower the probability, while views of noise barrier could increase the probability. Views of greenery had a stronger noise moderation capability than views of sea or urban river. The presence of an interaction effect between views of water and views of noise barrier exerted a negative influence on the noise annoyance moderation capability. The probability due to exposure to an environment containing views of noise barriers and urban rivers would be even higher than that due to exposure to an environment containing views of noise barriers alone. | Publisher: | Acoustical Society of America | Journal: | Journal of the Acoustical Society of America | ISSN: | 0001-4966 | EISSN: | 1520-8524 | DOI: | 10.1121/1.4979336 | Rights: | Copyright 2017 Acoustical Society of America.
