Abstract:

Absence of good agreement among laboratory studies involving human response to aircraft noise led to the conclusion that the application of different psychoacoustic procedures could account for differing conclusions. Since there is a continuing requirement to develop an engineering calculation procedure which validly reflects response to flyover noise from future aircraft STOL, VTOL, SST, a three-phase program was conceptualized. The document deals with Phase 1 Detailing of specifications and requirements for four psychoacoustic laboratory experiments plus the acquisition of tape recordings of noises that match the four experiments.
