LVA will be responsible for work package 2, aimed at selecting warning=20 signals on the basis of psycho-acoustical experiments. These experiments=20 will evaluate the ease of detection, localisation and interpretation of=20 candidate sounds. They will also quantify the increase of environmental=20 annoyance due to such sounds being emitted by cars.
