目的-本文的目的是探讨电子噪音监测设备（NoiseSign）在降低噪音水平在安静的研究领域在一所大学图书馆的效果。设计/方法/方式-调查和分贝测量被用来测量感知和客观的噪音水平，分别在两个主要的分支图书馆的干预和控制区。顾客对噪音的感知是通过被动的纸质和在线调查来测量的，该调查要求顾客对当前的噪音水平和他们期望的噪音水平进行评级。使用手持式分贝读取器每天收集两次实际噪音测量值，每次60秒，然后在干预后通过两个干预区域的噪音监测设备自动记录的分贝读数进行证实。作者进行了单因素方差分析，以确定结果是否显著。结果-NoiseSign没有统计学上的显着影响，无论是实际的噪音水平或用户的看法。
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of an electronic noise-monitoring device (NoiseSign) at reducing noise levels in quiet study areas in an academic library. Design/methodology/approach – Surveys and decibel-level measurements were used to measure the perceived and objective noise levels, respectively, in both an intervention and a control area of two major branch libraries. Patrons’ perception of noise was measured with a passive paper and online survey, which asked patrons to rate the current noise level and their desired noise level. The actual noise measurements were collected twice a day with a hand-held decibel reader for 60 seconds and then corroborated after the intervention with automatically logged decibel readings from the noise monitor device in the two intervention areas. The authors conducted one-way ANOVA’s to determine if the results were significant. Findings – The NoiseSign had no statistically significant effect on either actual noise levels or user perceptions...
