Sažetak
For formulating and implementing noise policies, it becomes necessary to assess resident's responses and reactions to community noise. For valid comparison of socio acoustic survey results, a harmonized questionnaire has been designed and developed in accordance with guidelines of International Commission on Biological Effects of Noise (ICBEN) for Ahmedabad city in the Gujarat state of India. The survey was performed through online platforms and through personal interviews. Total 396 responses were analysed for estimating resident's exposure and annoyance to traffic noise. The result of study showed that the percentage of highly annoyed people at home was less than moderately annoyed respondents. Lower responses were observed for highly annoyed as well as for moderately annoyed in the numeric scale compared to the verbal scale for given exposure category. However, the results showed that 55.1 % people are highly annoyed when they are commuting.
