noise stress survey (please help)

[i_broom_56]

My final year project is on the effects of noise induced stress. as part of my project im collecting data via a questionnaire. I would be extremely greatful if I could get some replies. I feel that I might be able to get a broader demographic and also asking people in the industry would give me a good insight into peoples views. Also if you can suggest anything that may help me in my task that would also be greatly apprieciated

 

(if you cut and paste the questionnaire and complete)

 

Thanks.

 

Ian.
