Abstract: Annoyance due to transportation noise has been recognized by policy makers as a harmful effect that should be prevented or reduced. On the basis of combined data from field studies, exposure-response relationships were established earlier to enable the prediction by policy makers of the annoyance response given a certain level of noise exposure. Recently, the validity of exposure-response curves based on data from several decades ago was questioned, especially for aircraft noise, for which annoyance appeared to have increased over the years. One explanation put forward concerns the changing noise exposure situations around airports.
