Short-term noise annoyance and electrodermal response as a function of sound-pressure level, cognitive task load, and noise sensitivity.

A 3 (difficulty) x 11 (sound level) x 2 (noise sensitivity groups) mixed-factors analysis of variance (ANOVA) in which task difficulty and sound level constituted within-subjects factors revealed a highly significant main effect of sound level on the annoyance ratings, F (10,270)=46.06; P <0.001; η 2 =0.19.

Finally, noise sensitivity appears to play a role in augmenting both annoyance ratings and the magnitude of psychophysiological responses, but that effect failed to reach statistical significance in Experiment 1.
