"Six male undergraduates made time judgments in the rate projection situation with five rates and four different noise conditions. It was found that noise programs involving different levels for the stimulus and response periods lengthened the time judgments relative to those involving the same noise level. Repetition of the task also lengthened judgments. The judgment functions were similar to those in classical time judgment experiments in that shorter intervals were overestimated more than longer intervals. The results are discussed in terms of effects of acoustic noise and of psychological stress on subjective time, and the shift due to repetition is related to a similar effect on time-order errors in psychophysical experiments."--Abstract.

The Effects of Noise on Man covers the techniques for the evaluation of environmental noise in terms of its effects on human. The book provides the fundamental definitions of sound, its measurement, and concepts of the basic functioning, and the attributes of the auditory system. The text also presents along with their experimental basis, procedures for estimating from physical measures of noise its effects on man's auditory system and speech communications. The last part of the book is devoted to man's nonauditory system responses and includes information about the effects of noise on work performance, sleep, feelings of pain, vision, and blood circulation.
