Within-participant study with 16 students found that air-conditioning and road-traffic noise at 55–65 dBA did not alter cognitive task performance in a university classroom, but increased perceived loudness, unpleasantness, arousal, and workload, with EEG showing shifts in relative theta and gamma band power linked to loudness and pleasantness.

Small but methodologically careful EEG study showing noise changes perception and brain activity even when task scores are flat, relevant to classroom and office acoustic design.
