Comment on “A study on calibration methods of noise annoyance data from listening tests” [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. <b>156</b>, 1877–1886 (2024)] (L)

The primary purpose of this letter is to offer historical clarification on the development of a model for "psychoacoustic annoyance" as cited by Di, Chen, Li, and Li [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 156(3), 1877-1886 (2024)], to raise awareness of its origin and propose a more appropriate attribution. A secondary aspect concerns the notions of noise annoyance advanced by Di, Chen, Li, and Li [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 156(3), 1877-1886 (2024)], addressing associated semantic and conceptual matters, with the aim of stimulating debate and in the hope of advancing towards future consensus.
