Özet

Background/aim: Subjective noise sensitivity (SNS) is not only one of the most important predictors of perceived noise annoyance for the subjects exposed to the noise, but also strongly related with some psychological conditions and poor health perception of the subjects. Weinstein's Noise Sensitivity Scale (WNSS) is widely used for measuring of SNS.
