| dc.description.abstract | In a previous study we found that intermittent sounds, simulating alarm sounds, have a relevant effect on workers’ performance and wellbeing. As the frequency of these sounds can influence subjects performance and well-being, a new study testing the effect of intermittent sound patterns with different frequency was carried out. Five noise conditions were simulated and tested through an experimental study with 16 undergraduate students. The influence of each condition on participants’ attention and short-term memory was assessed with the serial recall and response inhibition tests. Discomfort, stress and annoyance were accessed using visual analog scales. No significant differences were found between the noise conditions in what regards to subjects performance. However, higher discomfort, stress and annoyance perceptions were found in condition with intermittent sounds at 3000 Hz. This study provided important insights about the influence of different noise frequencies on subject’s performance and well-being. | pt_PT |
