MOTOR-HORN NOISES
OPINIONS IN BRITAIN
DECREE OF ANNOYANCE
(Received October 13, 1.45 p.m.) LONDON, October 12,
A committee of the Ministry of Transport, as an experiment, asked 200 persons of both sexes of all ages to listen to 43 types of motor horns and express their opinion as to the degree of annoyance caused by them. They had to classify their reactions under the sub-headings of agreeable, tolerable, objectionable, most objectionable, and unbearable.
The committee reported wide divergence of opinion but that the whine of sirens is the most annoying.
