ENCAMS Segmentation of Noise Sufferers and Noise Makers
ENCAMS carried out research, on behalf of Defra, to understand the attitudes and behaviours of noise makers and sufferers and to segment the different attitudinal groupings, seeking to establish:
- What is the nature of the problem, and is there a spectrum of intensity?
- How does the noise problem impact on their daily lives?
- How do they feel about their neighbours, and how has the noise problem affected their relationship?
- What have they done, if anything, to try and alleviate the problem?
- What advice would they find easiest to act upon? Do they want help in tackling the problem themselves, or would they like outside assistance?
Further information on ENCAMS’ work in this area is available at www.noiseconcern.org
