Shanxi Temple Soundscape Satisfaction Evaluation and Analysis

Abstract

This paper studies the soundscape characteristics of three Buddhist temples in Shanxi Province, China. Through questionnaire survey and laboratory research, it analyzes the satisfaction evaluation of monks and tourists on the soundscape of temples in the off-season and peak season and compares the satisfaction differences of different periods and sound sources. The results show that the satisfaction evaluation of temple soundscape is negatively affected by manufactured noise, and Buddhist sound is the only sound source that has been positively evaluated. Laboratory experiments show that sound is the key factor leading to the preference for soundscape evaluation, and the influence of visual pictures is insignificant.
