EFFECT OF NOISE SENSITIVITIES ON PERCEPTION OF ENVIRONMENT AMONGST AGING ADULTS
FY 2022-23 · 2023-02-01
Summary
One’s environment can have a significant effect on one’s wellbeing. Even an inviting room with light and warmth can be ruined by noise from neighbors intruding in the space or the fear of making noise that disturbs the neighbors. Impact noises from neighbors can negatively affect a person’s mental and physical wellbeing with people who are described as noise sensitive being affected the most. Often, people don’t equate the noises to the poor design of the dwelling. Instead, they consider their neighbors to be inconsiderate and people will often withdraw from the very social interactions with neighbors that are so important to many people who are aging in place. This project, which is a collaboration between the NRC and AIST in Japan, aims to develop guidance for the minimum protection from noise for dwellings for aging in place and to study noise sensitivity and if it can be reduced.

Description (French)
L’environnement d’une personne peut avoir un effet appréciable sur son bien-être. Même une pièce accueillante, lumineuse et chaleureuse peut être gâchée par le bruit des voisins qui s’immiscent dans l’espace ou par la peur de faire du bruit qui dérange les voisins. Les bruits d’impact des voisins peuvent avoir un effet négatif sur le bien-être mental et physique d’une personne, les personnes décrites comme sensibles au bruit étant les plus touchées. Souvent, les gens n’attribuent pas les bruits à la mauvaise conception du logement. Ils considèrent plutôt que leurs voisins manquent d’égards et se retirent souvent des interactions sociales avec leurs voisins qui sont si importantes pour de nombreuses personnes qui vieillissent chez elles. Ce projet, qui est le fruit d’une collaboration entre le CNRC et l’AIST au Japon, vise à élaborer des lignes directrices pour la protection minimale contre le bruit des habitations destinées à vieillir sur place et à étudier la sensibilité au bruit et la possibilité de la réduire.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
