Abstract
A modification of L eq is suggested. The modification is based on the simple fact that noise below a certain threshold may not be heard, and consequently cannot contribute to the annoyance. Results from laboratory experiments show a reasonably good correlation with subjective evaluation. The proposed index may give a new basis for the understanding of the effects of noise control measures.
