NOISE INTERFERENCE WITH HUMAN ACTIVITIES AND RESULTING OVERALL ANNOYANCE/HEALTH EFFECTS

Environmental noise may interfere with a broad range of human activities in a way which degrades public health and welfare. Such activities include:

  1. Speech Communication in Conversation and Teaching.
  2. Telephone Communication.
  3. Listening to TV and Radio Broadcasts.
  4. Listening to Music.
  5. Concentration During Mental Activities.
  6. Relaxation.
  7. Sleep.

Interference with listening situations (items 1-4) can be directly quantified in terms of the absolute level of the environmental noise and its characteristics. The amount of interference in non-listening situations (e.g.,) is often dependent upon factors other than the physical characteristics of the noise. These may include attitude towards the source of an identifiable noise, familiarity with the noise, characteristics of the exposed individual, and the intrusiveness of the noise.

The combination of the various interference effects results in an overall degradation of total well-being. Maximum noise levels that do not affect human well-being must be derived from the body of information on human behavioral response to various noise environments.

SPEECH INTERFERENCE

Speech communication has long been recognized as an important requirement of any human society. It is one of the chief distinctions between humans and other species. Interference with speech communication disturbs normal domestic or educational activities, creates an undesirable living environment, and can sometimes be a source of extreme annoyance. Continued long-term annoyance is considered to affect individual as well as public health and welfare in a variety of ways.

Noise can disturb speech communication in situations encountered at work, in vehicles, at home, and in other settings. Of chief concern for the purposes of this report, is the effect
