Abstract
A situation (1) with equal traffic noise on all four sides of a residence, has been compared with a situation (2) with a high level on one side and low on the other sides. A laboratory experiment has been conducted to have the test persons adjust the high or the low noise level in situation (2), so that the situation is assessed ‘‘equally annoying’’ as situation (1). The results indicate that the annoyance caused by road traffic noise can be reduced if at least one quiet side of the house can be achieved.
