| Abstract(in English) | The environmental quality standards for noise (including road side areas) in Japan, it is insufficient because noise annoyance is defined with subjectivity. In our previous papers, an annoyance scale (not annoying at all, not annoying, a little annoying, somewhat annoying, annoying, very annoying, extremely annoying) using the most frequency used annoyance ratings related to noise for community noise assessment in Japan was constructed. The logistic prediction model was developed using the logistic regression parameters estimated from each cumulative percentage curve of seven annoyance scale scores based on all data (n=2940). In this paper, a noise annoyance meter for prediction of individual acceptable noise levels was developed and its usefulness was verified. The data collected in a field-listening survey in Nagano using this meter (6 students and 44 residents that live in adjoin to trunk roads). From the results, it can be found that (a) noise annoyance reactions of residents do not change over the years (1982-2009), and (b) acceptable noise levels obtained from 91.8% of the residents are higher than the environmental standard of 45dB. |
