The findings of this study highlight that soundscape perception depends not only on the objective acoustical characteristics of an environment but also on auditory perception, which is influenced by physiological, psychological and cultural background. The findings of this study show that people who are exposed to identical acoustic environments may develop different soundscape perception tendencies based on their cultural and individual differences. Therefore, it is important to include cultural differences as well as social and individual differences in policy development related to noise and soundscape.
