A series of aircraft noise annoyance evaluation tests were performed under controlled conditions in a laboratory. Jurors drawn from nominal 30-35 NEF zones were exposed to aircraft noise events previously recorded near their homes in the vicinity of the Toronto International and Oshawa General Aviation Airports. Comparison of test results indicates that under optimum simulation conditions both Toronto and Oshawa observers consistently rate the International Airport noise exposure as considerably more disturbing/annoying than that at the General Aviation Airport sites. The laboratory test results were also compared with conventional field interview annoyance data obtained for the same group of jurors in a previous study conducted by McMaster University.
