Abstract: | Low-frequency noise may create specific perceptions, which might cause various health effects. The present study aimed to identify exposure-response relationships between low-frequency noise and perceptions by re-analysing an experimental study. We investigated the predominant perceptions of 'feeling bothered' and 'feeling of pressure and/or vibration' using multivariate logistic regression analysis. A significant interaction between 1/3 octave-band sound pressure level and frequency was indicated for 'feeling bothered' but not 'feeling of pressure and/or vibration', suggesting that the 'feeling of pressure and/or vibration' does not originate in cochlear. A mathematical model indicating resonance at approximately 50 Hz fitted the results well. A frequency weighting derived from the mathematical model could be applied to broad-band low-frequency noise to evaluate the perception and health effects. However, further investigations on the weighting for the perception are necessary because the results were obtained only from the existing study. |
