Markus Mueller-Trapet, from the research group, said: 'Long-term exposure to such unwanted sounds may potentially lead to cardiovascular problems and sleep disturbance.'ĭespite this, the researchers discovered that the thudding sound of people walking barefoot does not get included in the technical requirements for building construction. In their results, presented today at the Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, it was revealed that participants found impact sounds more annoying than continuous sounds, such as music or speech. Study participants were then exposed to the sounds using loudspeakers, headphones and virtual reality headsets, and they ranked their level of irritation on a scale from zero to 100.
