1 In urban pockets exposed to road traffic noise, do short informational-attentional masking sound (IAMS) cues…
RQ1.1: …improve the existing soundscape perception of the visitors?
H1.1: The ratings of existing (CTRL) soundscape perception improve with the introduction of short IAMS cues.
RQ1.2: …improve the existing emotional salience of the visitors?
H1.2: The ratings of existing (CTRL) emotional salience improve with the introduction of short IAMS cues.
RQ1.3: …reduce the perceived noise annoyance of the visitors?
H1.3: The ratings of existing (CTRL) perceived noise annoyance reduce with the introduction of short IAMS cues.
2 In urban pockets exposed to road traffic noise, does the typology of short IAMS cues and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)…
RQ2.1: …affect differently the soundscape perception of the visitors?
H2.1: The soundscape perception ratings in the augmented scenarios are different with certain types of IAMS cues and/or SNR levels.
RQ2.2: …affect differently the emotional salience of the visitors?
H2.2: The emotional salience ratings in the augmented scenarios are different with certain types of IAMS cues and/or SNR levels.
RQ2.3: …affect differently the perceived noise annoyance of the visitors?
H2.3: The noise annoyance ratings in the augmented scenarios are different with certain types of IAMS cues and/or SNR levels.
