Table 2.

Proportion of highly annoyed and annoyed according to noise exposure, noise sensitivity, and a complex of noise sensitivity and exposure.

Variables Highly Annoyed Annoyed
Low NS a (n = 1028) 56 (5.4) * 185 (18.0) *
High NS (n = 808) 156 (19.3) 394 (48.8)
Low NE b (n = 887) 80 (9.0) 230 (25.9) *
High NE (n = 949) 132 (13.9) 349 (36.8)
Low NS + low NE (n = 501) 21 (4.2) * 69 (13.8) *
Low NS + high NE (n = 527) 35 (6.6) 116 (22.0)
High NS + low NE (n = 386) 59 (15.3) 161 (41.7)
High NS + high NE (n = 422) 97 (23.0) 233 (55.2)

Unit: number (percentage); a NS, noise sensitivity; b NE, noise exposure; * p < 0.001; p = 0.001.
