Annotated Bibliography 131 conditions of room reverberation time and background noise. With an air conditioning equipment background noise level of 65 dBA, native listeners rated the conditions "a little difficult" for reverberation time of about 4 seconds, with "fairly difficult" conditions for 5 seconds or longer.

Annotated Bibliography 133 theory of cognitive dissonance and suggested that we all have an inner drive to hold all of our inner beliefs and attitudes in harmony and, therefore, seek to avoid or reduce disharmony. In an airport environment, this could be as simple as a passenger told at the check-in desk that they would be boarding at Gate 6 and an announcement that calls passengers to Gate 8.

However, listening difficulty was affected for both native and non-native listeners when the speech rate and reverberation time were changed.
