Abstract

Noise exposure has adverse effects on the physiology and psychology of the human body. This paper selects three typical noise sources in life according to the loudness level of different frequency pure tone of subjective annoyance common relative size, feature extraction from the frequency noise spectrum, pure tone synthesis of several noise samples will have the characteristic frequency, of subjective annoyance research on actual noise and synthetic noise by using the paired comparison method, for improving the environmental noise in the future.
