Developing a criterion for the annoyance of low frequency aircraft
noise
(2000)Abstract
Low frequency aircraft noise, such as that caused by thrust reverser
application, start of takeoff roll, and (to a lesser extent) overflight
noise, can create secondary emissions of windows, doors, and household
paraphernalia. These rattling noises can annoy residents of airport
neighborhoods independently from the noise of aircraft per se. One
interpretation of the findings of recent studies of annoyance due
to aircraft noise-induced vibration and rattling suggests a means
for developing a criterion for the acceptability of such noise, in
terms comparable to the familiar land use compatibility guidance
of the U.S. Federal Interagency Committee on Noise.
