| Abstract |
This article presents the results of a study of annoyance caused by low-frequency noise (including infrasonic noise) that occurs at work stations located in offices. Sixty volunteers (30 men and 30 women) with normal hearing took part in an experimental study involving psychological tests under three acoustic exposure conditions in a laboratory simulated office work environment. Participants reported their subjective annoyance. Findings are discussed. Annoyance was rated higher among women and among persons with higher reactivity. |
