Aircraft noise induced building vibration and effects on human responseThe acoustic loads resulting from aircraft noise and sonic booms which can induce vibration in the structure and result in radiation of noise into its interior, rattling of items in contact with the structure, and the perception of the inhabitants that the structure is vibrating, are investigated. In particular, the response of buildings, particularly residential structures, to aircraft noise and the resulting effects on human response have been the subjects of considerable research at the NASA Langley Research Center. These studies are reviewed with particular emphasis on the response of houses to aircraft overflight noise and any increase in noise annoyance caused by the perception of vibration and rattling.
