abstract = "This is an exciting time for aircraft design. New configurations, including small multi-rotor uncrewed aerial systems, fixed- and tilt-wing distributed electric propulsion aircraft, high-speed rotorcraft, hybrid-electric commercial transports, and low-boom supersonic transports, are
being made possible through a host of propulsion and airframe technology developments. The resulting noise signatures may be radically different, both spectrally and temporally, than those of the current fleet. Noise metrics currently used in aircraft design, e.g., A-weighted sound pressure
level and effective perceived noise level, do not generally reflect these characteristics and therefore may not correlate well with human response. Further, as operations and missions become less airport-centric, e.g., those associated with on-demand mobility or package delivery, vehicles
may operate in closer proximity to the population than ever before. Fortunately, a new set of tools are available for measuring human perception during the design process in order to affect the final design in a positive manner. The tool chain utilizes system noise prediction methods coupled
with auralization and psychoacoustic testing, making possible the inclusion of human response to noise, along with performance criteria and certification requirements, into the aircraft design process. The perception-influenced design approach is demonstrated for several case studies across
the flight regime.",
