From page 9...
... Notwithstanding the methodological questions, errors in measurement of both noise exposure and reported annoyance, data interpretation differences, and the problem of community response bias, Schultz's recommended relationship has historically been the most widely accepted interpretation of the social survey literature on transportation noise-induced annoyance. Beginning with the publication of this original exposureresponse curve, work has continued in many countries to conduct new field studies, develop databases with the results of dozens of new social surveys, and explore whether separate curves are needed to describe community responses to aircraft, street traffic, and railway noise.
From page 10...
... This tutorial article traces the development of the dosage-effect relationship on which FICON currently relies and identifies areas in which advances in genuine understanding might lead to improved means for predicting community response to transportation noise. It provides an important summary of how the annoyance synthesis was developed, and the inherent weakness of the DNL/dose-response relationship that was developed.
