Extract

Experiments on the influence of added narrow band sounds on the subjective assessment of noise were conducted at the NGTE 1966 Open Week and at the 1966 SBAC Show, with over two thousand people participating. The results clarify the apparently conflicting observations of earlier workers and show definitely that the presence of a narrow band content can significantly influence the degree of disturbance caused by noise of the type generated by aircraft near an airport.
