Extract

In cases of noise nuisance, measurement of the noise has several uses. It helps in deciding the degree of noise reduction which is desirable; it may serve to identify the most important source or sources of the noise where this is in doubt; and it is of assistance in devising methods for reduction of the noise. For the first purpose a single figure to characterise the noise would be preferable, but for the others some form of noise analysis is needed.

To the sufferer from the noise the most important characteristic is the annoyance it causes, or its nuisance value. This may be assessed very differently by different individuals, and consequently it is not very amenable to measurement.
