Abstract

Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.

The purpose of this study was to substantiate an aircraft noise index - a measure of the disturbance arising from aircraft noise - for use at major U.K. airports.
Main Topics:

Attitudinal/Behavioural Questions
Length of time in and attitudes towards neighbourhood, amount of annoyance and disturbance caused by noise.
Background Variables
Employment, educational background, marital status, sex, age.
Measurement Scales
Guttman Annoyance Scale, Aircraft Noise Annoyance Scale (see: Wilson Committee on the Problem of Noise: final report. HMSO (Cmnd 2056, 1963).
