Keywords: noise, annoyance, artificial intelligence, formal analysis

The aim of this paper is to design a generic model of the correlation between the noises generated by an airport’s traffic and the annoyance felt by the residents. This Artificial Intelligence project focuses on the study of the relations between systems and unvoluntary users. Beyond a mere “noise level” ! “annoyance” function, we aim at defining more precisely the causal relations between noise characteristics and the actual annoyance. Hence, we work both on annoyance cognitive models and on noise data. In this paper, our contribution consists in: the description of the experimental campaigns and the definition of the theoretical tools.
