Abstract :
It is explored in this article the relationship between noise exposure level and noise annoyance. According to survey and analyze, noise annoyance has positive correlation with LAE (Sound Exposure Level). When it reaches 74dB, it arises slight annoyance. However, if it surpasses 79dB, it may bring up serious annoyance. In order to avoid interrupting noise from urban trail transit system, 79dB is suggested as the limit value and the threshold of taking actions for noise of urban rail transit system.
