- Abstract
- Nowadays the protection of quiet areas is an issue of increasing importance, as also recognized in the European
Directive 2002/49/EC on the environmental noise [1]. Dealing with the demanded protection of quiet areas, it
is important to characterize the soundscape of these environments properly, taking into account the multidimensionality
of the individual perception which includes the e ff ects of non-acoustic factors on subjective evaluation,
such as visual impression and matching the personal expectation of the environment with the actual experience.
This paper describes two experimental investigations carried out recently in Italy. The first deals with noise surveys
and collection of subjective appraisals of three urban parks in Naples and the second consists of laboratory
listening tests where sounds recorded binaurally in countryside parks have been mixed with sounds from some
type of sources at diff erent signal-to-noise ratios and played back by headphones to a group of subjects. The results
obtained show that the subjects expectation to hear a sound in a specific environment, that is its congruence
with the environment where it is heard, influences the corresponding annoyance. In particular, the more the sound
is congruent with the expectation of the park, the less is the evoked annoyance and, conversely, the more is its
acceptability. Furthermore, the acceptability of the sound increases with decreasing of its level and detectability
of non natural sounds. (literal)
