Most current knowledge about community response to noise exposure is derived from studies of high-level transportation sources. A nationwide urban noise survey was undertaken to study effects associated with more moderate but far more common sorts of noise exposure. Over 2000 respondents at 24 sites in seven cities of varying noise exposure and population density were interviewed by telephone and in person about their reactions to everyday noises. A brief but comprehensive structured questionnaire was based on direct questioning about annoyance and related effects. Among the major findings of the survey were widespread annoyance and speech interference from exposure to urban noise and strong relationships between the extent of annoyance and exposure level, speech interference, and population density.
目前关于社区对噪声暴露反应的大多数知识都来自对高强度交通源的研究。为了研究与更适度但更为常见的噪声暴露相关的影响，开展了一项全国性城市噪声调查。通过电话和面对面访谈，对七个不同噪声暴露和人口密度城市中24个地点的2000多名受访者进行了调查，询问他们对日常噪声的反应。一份简短但全面的结构化问卷基于对烦恼及相关影响的直接询问。该调查的主要发现包括：暴露于城市噪声会普遍引起烦恼和言语干扰，并且烦恼程度与暴露水平、言语干扰和人口密度之间存在密切关系。
