Abstract

Previous research has stressed the relevance of non-acoustical factors in the perception and appraisal of aircraft noise. However, it is largely empirically driven and lacks a sound theoretical basis. In this paper, a theoretical model is developed to explain noise annoyance based on the psychological stress theory of Lazarus [1]. This model is empirically validated by applying Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) based on data from residents living in the vicinity of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol in the Netherlands. Based on the model results it is argued that current Dutch noise regulation is partly effective and partly ineffective in reducing noise annoyance.
