Résumé

Annoyance with community noise occurs in all degrees of severity and in all contexts (rural, urban, etc). The degree of annoyance can usually be anticipated based on familiarity with "average-hearing" of the "typical" human listener. With regard to potential noise mitigation, the task is then first to assess the disturbance claim, and, if deemed valid, develop feasible solutions. This paper outlines the application of a relatively new noise control product to provide a "path'-based solution (as opposed to treating the noise "at-source" or "at-receiver")
