Abstract

In the context of eatery places, it is important that people concentrate and focus on the smells and tastes of their food and drinks to ensure that they are satisfied with their meals, as this influences the positive behavior of the intent to return and can prompt them to recommend an eatery place to others later. A higher level of noise may distract people from having a fine dining experience and could interfere with their sense of smell and taste. Ultimately, long-term exposure to noise will affect not only a person's health and well-being but also his or her social interactions, communication and preferences for acoustic comfort during the dining experience. This paper will discuss the critical literature reviews of the determining factors of this phenomenon in order to develop a conceptual framework by which to classify eatery place typologies and diners' perceived acoustic comfort. The main goal of this paper is to clearly elucidate the different categorizations of eatery places and the determining factors that might have significant effects on human acoustic comfort. Therefore, the paper aims to develop a framework based on the determining factors of acoustic comfort classification in eatery places. This framework can be used by diners as a reference for selecting suitable eatery places based on their preferences.
