Abstract

We carried out a a field study to elucidate whether acoustic properties of nightly church bell ringing events systematically relate to awakening reactions. Results indicate that the bell ringing events increase awakenings in a similar fashion as has pr eviously been reported with transportation noise events (aircraft, railways) and that awakening probability first and foremost depends on maximum sound pressure level of an event.
