Abstract
More than a decade has passed since Schultz (1978) derived a relationship between noise exposure and the prevalence of annoyance from the findings of various social surveys of community response to general transportation noise sources. Numerous measurements of the prevalence of noise‐related annoyance have been published in subsequent years. A least‐squares quadratic fitting function to a set of 427 data points (developed by addition of 266 new data points to the original set of 161 data points) differs little from the third‐order polynomial fit to the original data set.
