Abstract
The subjective concept of acoustic comfort
in eating establishments
has been investigated in this study.
The goal was to develop a predictive model for the acoustic comfort, by means of simple objective
parameters, while also examining which other subjective acoustic parameters could help explain the
feeling of acoustic comfort. Through several layers of anal
ysis, acoustic comfort was found to be rather
complex, and could not be explained
entirely
by common subjective parameters such as annoyance,
intelligibility or privacy. A predictive model for the mean acoustic comfort for an eating establishment
was obtai
ned through linear regression, though a small sample size gave rise to discussions about the
sturdiness of the model.
