SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is leading
an Urban Air Mobility (UAM) vehicle noise cooperative human response
study involving multiple testing locations, other U.S. government
agencies, academia, and industry. Overarching study goals are:
1. Obtain a wide range of UAM vehicle sounds for use in human
response studies.
2. Provide insights into human response of UAM vehicle noise that
will collectively be challenging for any single agency or organization
to acquire.
3. Create an open database of human response to UAM vehicle noise
to support follow-on studies.
The UAM vehicle noise cooperative human response study is currently
divided into two phases: A Feasibility Phase (Phase 1) and Phase 2.
Each phase executes one or more psychoacoustic tests. Phase 1 seeks to
demonstrate and refine the test methodology that will be used in Phase
2. Since UAM vehicle noise may be challenging to acquire as stimuli,
the Phase 1 psychoacoustic test will use other types of aircraft noise
as stimuli. Phase 2 will focus on capturing human response to UAM
vehicle noise stimuli.
This information collection is for the Phase 1 psychoacoustic test.
A remote psychoacoustic testing platform will allow recruited test
subjects to listen to NASA-provided test sound stimuli over the
internet using their own computers and headphones and register their
annoyance rating for each.
The outcome of the Phase 1 psychoacoustic test is a demonstrated
capability for ranking of sound stimuli by annoyance ratings from
remote test subjects.
II. Methods of Collection
Test subjects will electronically indicate their annoyance rating
to test stimuli into an interface displayed on their own computers.
III. Data
Title: Remote Psychoacoustic Test for Urban Air Mobility Vehicle
Noise Human Response.
OMB Number:
Type of review: New.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Annual Number of Activities: 1.
Estimated Number of Respondents per Activity: 80.
Annual Responses: 80.
Estimated Time per Response: 80 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 107 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $4,280.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
NASA, including whether the information collected has practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of NASA's estimate of the burden (including
hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; (3) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including automated collection techniques
or the use of other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and included in the request for OMB approval of this information
collection. They will also become a matter of public record.
Lori Parker,
NASA PRA Clearance Officer.
