Analysis of annoyance caused by infrasound and low-frequency noise during mental work
This paper presents the results of low-frequency noise
(LFN) annoyance tests in laboratory conditions on a model workstation conceptual
mental work. Group of volunteers: 60 persons (30 women and 30 men) participated
in the experiment consisting in completing psychological tests in three
different acoustic conditions. The tests results have shown significant
differences in subjective assessment of noise annoyance depending on the gender
and reactivity level of surveyed persons.
