This paper proposes a novel approach for modeling noise-induced annoyance using the fuzzy technique. The fuzzy approach offers a convenient way of representing the relationships between the inputs and outputs of a system in the form of simple IF-THEN rules. Annoyance, in the present model, is considered as a function of noise level, its duration of occurrence, and the socioeconomic status of a person. The model has been implemented on the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox of MATLAB, using both Mamdani and Sugeno techniques. The results of the model are applicable to the urban areas of India
