Abstract

An investigation has been made, using explosive charges as the source of the bangs, of the effect of bangs on the subjective reaction of a community. Although the exercise had many imperfections, the two main facts that emerged were that the percentage of persons annoyed became less as the bangs became an established feature of the environment, and that the exchange rate found between the effect of frequency and the effect of intensity was not inconsistent with that implied by the Noise arid Number Index concept introduced by the Wilson Committee on the Problem of Noise.
