- Abstract
The article presents a study of the problem of the sovereignty of the psychological personal space of family members whose social activity is reduced and who have to live long–term in a confined space during the COVID-19 pandemic. Family members’ post-traumatic stress adaptation to environmental influences in the form of acoustic noise was studied. The noise impact on the psychological state of family members was determined, taking into account the characteristics of their personality and the cohabitation conditions and features. There were three types of noise observed: air (the sound intensity level of the human voice, animal sounds, natural phenomena, music streaming, etc.), impact noise (sounds associated with mechanical actions, different types of knocking, footsteps, etc.), and anthropogenic (sounds of transport, working equipment, devices, etc.) Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the research findings showed that acoustic noise can be a factor contributing to the emergence of emotional stress in the subject, and on the other hand, depression and alexithymia contribute to the subject’s focusing attention on the surrounding sound space associated with a specific life situation.
