    Main Results:

    • Several single-number rating methods (LN, Leq, LNP, Ldn) are proposed for community noise assessment.
    • A range of instruments are available for measuring and analyzing noise environments.
    • The effectiveness of these methods relies on their correlation with human subjective responses.

    Conclusions:

    • The development of effective single-number noise rating systems is essential for community noise abatement.
    • Appropriate instrumentation is key to accurate environmental noise data collection and analysis.
    • Further research may be needed to optimize methods correlating objective measurements with subjective perception.
