Acoustic Boundaries — The Structure of 'My Sound Is Freedom, Your Sound Is a Nuisance'
Noise from neighbors accounts for 43.6% of all resident disputes in condominiums, and cases in which noise conflicts have escalated to violent crimes continue to occur. The problem of noise cannot be resolved with a simple 'live and let live' attitude. What does the finding that a desire for loud exhaust systems is predicted by psychopathy suggest? This article examines the 'right to quiet' through the psychology of self-other boundaries.
Who to Change What For — Three-Layer Target Audience Design
Defining three layers with sensory-sensitive individuals as the core, general citizens with misophonia tendencies as the broad layer, and all urban residents as potential supporters. Organizing a ripple structure where design improvements starting from the core layer leads to overall sound environment improvement.
What dB Cannot Measure — The Concept of Context-Dependent Stress
Even at identical dB levels, stress responses vary dramatically depending on the type of sound, time of day, and whether the sound is anticipated. This note examines the limitations of current dB-averaged indicators and argues for new metrics tailored to sensory-hypersensitive individuals.
How Much Do People with Sensory Hypersensitivity Suffer Outdoors — A World-First Research Gap
Complete non-intersection between urban environment research using wearable devices and sensory hypersensitivity research. No studies worldwide have measured physiological stress in people with sensory hypersensitivity during outdoor movement. This paper organizes the discovery of this research gap and validation approaches.
Four Research Hypotheses and Verification Plan
Formulating the relationship between urban noise and sensory stress into four research hypotheses. Identifying research gaps in sensory-sensitive individuals × outdoor routes, zoning × noise disparity, complaint void zones, and context-dependent stress, presenting a Phase 0-3 verification roadmap.
