Acoustics — Non-acoustic factors influencing the perception, interpretation and response to environmental sounds — Part 1: Definition and conceptual framework

This document provides a definition, a conceptual framework and a categorisation framework for non-acoustic factors (sometimes also referred to as “contextual factors”). It identifies and lists attributes relevant to the measurements, reporting and assessment of self-reported health outcomes attributable to noise and soundscape studies, as well as for the planning, design and management of soundscape and noise interventions.
