A multidimensional evaluation of the perception and annoyance caused by railway induced groundborne vibration (2014)
Journal Article
Woodcock, J., Moorhouse, A., & Waddington, D. (2014). A multidimensional evaluation of the perception and annoyance caused by railway induced groundborne vibration. Acta acustica united with Acustica, 100(4), 614-627. https://doi.org/10.3813/AAA.918741

This paper presents a study investigating seated subjects' perception of railway induced groundborne vibration in the vertical direction. Previous studies into the perception of railway induced vibration have treated this phenomenon as a unidimension...

Estimation of uncertainty using revised draft ISO 1996-2 (2014)
Journal Article
Alves, S., & Waddington, D. (2014). Estimation of uncertainty using revised draft ISO 1996-2. Acoustics bulletin / Institute of Acoustics, 39(2), 34-41

The aim of this paper is to examine methods for the estimation of the uncertainty associated with environmental acoustic measurements. It is considered best practice that any measurement should be accompanied by a quantitative indication of its quali... Read More about Estimation of uncertainty using revised draft ISO 1996-2.

Human response to vibration in residential environments (2014)
Journal Article
Waddington, D., Woodcock, J., Peris, E., Condie, J., Sica, G., Moorhouse, A., & Steele, A. (2014). Human response to vibration in residential environments. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 135(1), 182-193. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4836496

This paper presents the main findings of a field survey conducted in the United Kingdom into the human response to vibration in residential environments. The main aim of this study was to derive exposure-response relationships for annoyance due to vi... Read More about Human response to vibration in residential environments.

Effect of situational, attitudinal and demographic factors on railway vibration annoyance in residential areas (2014)
Journal Article
Peris, E., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Sharp, C., Moorhouse, A., & Waddington, D. (2014). Effect of situational, attitudinal and demographic factors on railway vibration annoyance in residential areas. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 135(1), 194-204. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4836495

Railway induced vibration is an important source of annoyance among residents living in the vicinity of railways. Annoyance increases with vibration magnitude. However, these correlations between the degree of annoyance and vibration exposure are wea...
