Loudness, noisiness and annoyance were judged for 36 stimuli by Japanese and German subjects. In experiment 1, actual noises such as aircraft and road traffic noise were used. In experiment 2, artificial noises were used. Their level patterns were simulated to correspond to the actual sound sources used in experiment 1, and the carrier was pink noise. Absolute magnitude estimation was used for making judgments. Eight German subjects and eight Japanese subjects participated. Judgments of loudness, noisiness and annoyance were made for actual and for simulated sounds. Results showed the following. (1) The concepts “loudness”, “noisiness” and “annoyance” have rather different implications; various factors, such as the temporal pattern of the stimulus, frequency components, duration and subjective meaning, contribute to the differences. (2) Differences in the subjective meaning of sounds may have an important effect on judgments of noisiness and annoyance. (3) German subjects seem to be more sensitive to level fluctuation; they tend to judge sound on the basis of its maximum level, whereas Japanese do so on the basis of its energy. (4) In the case of traffic noise, there was little difference in the evaluation of the three aspects by the German and Japanese subjects; it therefore seems appropriate to evaluate these sounds byLAeq.
