Abstract
Research on evaluating the effects of corona noise from EHV and UHV power transmission lines on humans inside buildings is described. The corona noise from transmission lines was recorded, reproduced for human listeners in a simulated living room and the human response to the noise was measured in the room. It was found that: despite its low sound level, corona noise is somewhat more adversive to people than might be expected on the basis of physical measurements of the sound; corona noise may not be a problem inside a well-constructed and insulated house with the windows closed; high frequency hissing and crackling noises are more aversive than low-frequency humming and buzzing noise components; and more data is needed to evaluate the human response to corona sounds.
