Abstract

The aim of this paper is to propose measures of intrusiveness of sound. Intrusiveness is understood here as that feature of sound which determines a high degree of annoyance in spite of the low value of noise rating. The paper discusses existing noise ratings and shows that they do not give satisfactory results as applied to sounds estimated as irritating or unpleasant. It is proposed that noise ratings should be extended to cover measures of intrusiveness.
