- This article presents a study aiming to explore and evaluate acoustic comfort in residential multistory buildings in Sweden. Acoustic data was associated to self-reported responses acquired by a survey: a questionnaire was setup researching the response to noise annoyance from multiple sources in a flat and the emotional reactions of tenants to the acoustic climate at home. An assessment of acoustic comfort in the test apartments was performed utilizing the circumplex model of affect. A sample of 353 residents offered their ratings on 12 bipolar scales regarding their feelings towards their living sound environment. Two dimensions were identified: pleasantness and activation. Statistical models were developed using acoustic and structural variables. L'#$,&,'((predicted best pleasantness and number of flats per building predicted best activation. A new acoustic comfort indicator is suggested based on the pleasantness model and four novel acoustic comfort classes are proposed as: AC-1: Very good, AC-2: Good, AC-3: Acceptable, AC-4: No comfort.
