Abstract
The effect of changed traffic noise conditions was investigated in a sample of 469 residents at eight sites in the south of England. Measurement of subjective response to noise under conditions of unchanging noise exposure was used to predict response to changes in noise level. Change in dissatifaction with traffic noise following an increase or decrease in noise exposure was found to be considerably greater than predicted from the steady state data. The implications of this finding for planning policy are discussed in the context of data on adaptation following changes in noise exposure.
