ICBEN (International Commission on Biological Effects of Noise) Team 6 (Community Response to Noise) developed standardized noise annoyance scales and questions in nine languages. The English scale was "extremely," "very," "moderately," "slightly" and "not at all. " The Japanese was "hijoni," "daibu," "tasho," "sorehodo...nai" and "mattaku.. .nai." To grantee the equivalence of the scales it was hypothesized that the maximum degree of annoyance was the same in any language and that the difference in results caused by different subjects was negligible. In order to validate the two hypotheses, an experiment was conducted in which 73 bilingual subjects evaluated the intensities of Japanese and English modifiers directly. "Kiwamete" was selected as the highest modifier, which was different from "hijoni" in the previous ICBEN study but the difference between the two modifiers as little. The difference in intensity between "kiwamete" and "extremely" was significant but small. This shows that there was little difference in intensity between Japanese and English highest modifiers.It may be impossible to validate the equivalence of Japanese and English question wordings directly. So an experiment was conducted, in which 202 Japanese and 129 English-speaking people evaluated road traffic noises by using three questions with different impressions: "How much would this much noise from the road traffic bother, disturb or annoy you??" "How bothersome, disturbing or annoying should this much noise from road traffic be rated as?" and "How much would this much noise from the road traffic worry, irritate or concern you ?" As a result, it was found that there was no effect of question wording on annoyance response and that there was no difference in trend between Japanese and English.From the above two experiment, it was found that the noise annoyance scales and questions in Japanese and English constructed by ICBEN Team 6 were equivalent.

ICBEN（国际噪音生物效应委员会）第6小组（社区对噪音的反应）制定了九种语言的标准化噪音烦恼量表和问题。英国的等级是“非常”、“非常”、“适度”、“轻微”和“完全没有”。日语是“hijoni”，“daibu”，“tasho”，“sorehodo. nai”and“mattaku.. .nai.“为了保证量表的等效性，假设任何语言的最大烦恼程度都是相同的，不同主题造成的结果差异可以忽略不计。为了验证这两个假设，73名双语被试进行了一项实验，直接评估日语和英语修饰语的强度。“Kiwamete”被选为最高的修饰语，这是不同的“hijoni”在以前的ICBEN研究，但两个修饰语之间的差异不大。“kiwamete”和“极端”之间的强度差异显着，但很小。这表明日语和英语的最高修饰语在强度上几乎没有差异，直接验证日语和英语疑问句的等价性可能是不可能的。因此，进行了一项实验，其中202名日本人和129名英语为母语的人使用三个不同印象的问题来评估道路交通噪音：“道路交通的噪音会给你带来多大的困扰，干扰或烦恼？”“这么多的道路交通噪音应该被评为多麻烦、多令人不安或多烦人？以及“这么多的交通噪音会让你担心、烦恼或担心吗？““结果发现，问题措辞对烦恼反应没有影响，日语和英语之间的趋势没有差异。从上述两个实验中发现，ICBEN Team 6构建的日语和英语噪音烦恼量表和问题是等效的。
