The strength of annoyance reactions to environmental noise differs considerably across individuals. The concept of noise sensitivity has often been invoked to explain this finding. Sensitivity to noise is seen as a stable personality trait covering attitudes towards a wide range of noises. In order to measure individual noise sensitivity, a questionnaire was constructed, and its psychometric properties were assessed. internal consistency and retest reliability of the final 52-item version were very high (alpha=0.92 and r(alpha)=0.91, respectively). Construct validity was evaluated by correlating noise sensitivity scores with other questionnaire measures of depression, stress, anger, anxiety, and noise sensitivity. The results suggest that the present German-language noise-sensitivity questionnaire does very well in meeting established criteria for test evaluation, and may be applied both in laboratory and field settings.
