Sumario:Next-generation IoT systems will allow sustainable performance in long-term monitoring systems. This sustainability concept applies to soundscape description, as it allows monitoring in urban environments. In this work, the implementation of psycho-acoustic annoyance models in a 5G-enabled IoT system is proposed, applying two edge-computing approaches. A modified Zwicker’s model is adopted in this research, introducing a term that takes into account the tonal component of the captured sound. These implementations have been validated in a measurement campaign where several IoT devices have been deployed to evaluate different sound environments of a university campus. Then, the analysis of the sound-quality metrics is conducted in a different location, showing that if tonality is present in a noisy environment, it results in greater subjective annoyance. Moreover, the Just-Noticeable Difference of these results is derived from Zwicker’s psycho-acoustic annoyance to establish a limitation for this metric.
