- 01 Dec 2022
TL;DR: In this paper , the effect of wearing a helmet on traffic noise-induced psychophysiological reactions was investigated using structural equation modeling, which revealed that the use of a helmet can negatively affect the traffic noise induced annoyance, tiredness, depression, headache, and sleeping problem.

Numerical and experimental study of tonal noise sources at the outlet of an isolated centrifugal fan
TL;DR: By analyzing the wall-pressure fluctuations, it is found that the recirculating flow regions with large TKE are dominant sources of the tonal noise.

Aircraft noise and environmental equity in Montréal: A comparison of noise indicators and an analysis of the impacts of COVID-19
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identify whether the use of an aircraft noise indicator rather than another generates significant variations in the results and consequently in terms of affected areas and populations and show a significant drop in population exposed to aircraft noise in 2020 compared to 2019.

A study on the control indices and emission limits of substation noise
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used the mean noise annoyance (Am) of each noise sample to establish the LAeq-Am model of substation noise, which is based on the low-frequency noise rating number (LFNR) proposed by Broner.
