Notes: MSlL: Mean subjective loudness level; MDeL: Mean depression level; MDcL: Mean discomfort level; MDsL: Mean dissatisfaction level; LT: Global LAeq of combined sound; T: Threshold, 1 when WSNR exceeds −3 dBA but is no greater than 6 dBA, and global LAeq levels are between 60 and 65 dBA, otherwise 0; WSNR: Difference between binaural LAeq of water sound and binaural LAeq of secondary radiation noise; R2: Coefficient of determination.
