Road traffic noise in urban areas is a major source of annoyance. A quiet façade has been hypothesized to beneficially affect annoyance. However, only a limited number of studies investigated this hypothesis, and further quantification is needed. This study investigates the effect of a relatively quiet façade on the annoyance response. Logistic regression was performed in a large population based study (GLOBE, N~18,000), to study the association between road traffic noise exposure at the most exposed dwelling façade (L(den)) and annoyance in: (1) The subgroup with a relatively quiet façade (large difference in road traffic noise level between most and least exposed façade (Q>10 dB); (2) the subgroup without a relatively quiet façade (Q<10 dB). Questionnaire data were linked to individual exposure assessment based on detailed spatial data (GIS) and standard modeling techniques. Annoyance was less likely (OR(Q) (>10)<OR(Q) (<10)) in the subgroup with relatively quiet façade compared to the subgroup without relatively quiet façade. The difference in response between groups seemed to increase with increasing Q and L(den). Results indicate that residents may benefit from a quiet façade to the dwelling.
城市地区的道路交通噪声是主要的烦恼源。人们假设安静的立面将对烦恼产生有益的影响。然而，只有少数研究调查了这一假设，需要进一步进行量化。本研究调查了相对安静的立面对烦恼反应的影响。在一项基于大量人群的研究（GLOBE，N~18000）中进行了逻辑回归，以研究最暴露居住立面（L（den））处的道路交通噪声暴露与烦恼之间的关系：（1）相对安静的立面的亚组（最大和最小暴露立面之间的道路交通噪声水平差异较大（Q>10 dB）；（2）没有相对安静的立面的亚组（Q<10 dB）。问卷调查数据通过详细的空间数据（GIS）和标准建模技术与个体暴露评估相关联。与没有相对安静的立面的亚组相比，相对安静的立面的亚组中烦恼的可能性较小（OR（Q）（>10）<OR（Q）（<10））。两组之间的反应差异似乎随着 Q 和 L（den）的增加而增加。结果表明，居民可能会从住宅的安静立面中受益。
