An Experimental Study on the Influence of Soundscapes on People’s Behaviour in an Open Public Space (2016, background): “The pitch features are particularly significant in the field of environmental sounds and their perception [18].”
A grounded theory approach to the subjective understanding of urban soundscape in Sheffield (2016, background): “Evaluating the effects of sounds on people is primarily a subjective issue rather than one merely based on objective parameters (Kang, 2002; Kang, 2007; Cities, Volume 50, 2016, Page 28-39 Page 5 Yang and Kang, 2005; Zhang and Kang, 2009).”
Effect of soundscape dimensions on acoustic comfort in urban open public spaces (2018, background): “Moreover, it has been found that the crowd's perception of sound might be influenced by physical factors such as temperature, humidity and sunlight [25; 26].”
Relationship between street scale and subjective assessment of audio-visual environment comfort based on 3D virtual reality and dual-channel acoustic tests (2018, methodology): “For example, low background levels can allow a person to feel quieter and more peaceful [6].”
