abstract = "In order to obtain eventual sensations of annoyance in connection with statistical sound phenomena relative measurements were carried out with a new class of experimental stochastic sounds. The parameters of these sounds are multilaterally variable and also allow combination with periodic
signals. For comparative measurement one has employed as a first sound reference binary processes B(fr
) (resembling noise) at different frequencies of measurement and secondly, noise signals, which have the same power spectrum as the reference binary signals. The level
difference, L B(f
T) or L R(f
T), of reference was ascertained, and used as the relative annoyance component of a test signal, which was obtained as the difference between an equalization of the same irritability and volume.The
results showed increasing annoyance with increased impulsivity of test-sounds (impulse annoyance) and the same with increased periodic character of the rectangular signal (sound annoyance) by which in both cases, according to the timed frequency maximum values of about 5 to 7 dB were obtained.
The comparison of impulse annoyance is consistent with known literature whereas a similar comparison of sound annoyance, obtainod here, is not possible due to lack of relevant research by other authors.",
