Non-acoustical variable contribution to military blast noise annoyance

INTRODUCTION: Several factors other than noise exposure can contribute to an individual’s annoyance to noise. In fact, non-acoustical variables, such as an individual’s ability to habituate to noise or their personal feeling of importance towards the noise source, can have an equal or larger impact upon noise annoyance than the noise itself (Schomer et al. 2013; Guski 1999; Stallen 1999). Most of the studies that pertain to non-acoustical variables contributing to noise annoyance have focused on airplane, road, railroad, or wind turbine noise. While the results of these studies have been similar, there have been a few differences in the relationship between non-acoustical variables and noise annoyance based on the noise type. Additionally, none of the annoyance studies focused specifically on non-acoustical variable contribution to annoyance for military blast noise.
