Loudness in Daily Environments

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Loudness

Part of the book series: Springer Handbook of Auditory Research ((SHAR,volume 37))

Abstract

Acquiring a comprehensive understanding of how people perceive loudness in daily environments requires us to take the study of loudness out of artificial controlled laboratories and observe the perception of loudness under more ecologically valid conditions. In doing so, we find that some assumptions made in the laboratories do not apply to daily environments.
