Anxiety significantly impacts the well-being of university students. This study employs pandemic-induced lockdown as a quasi-experimental situation to examine students’ perceptions acoustic environment and anxiety levels, further investigating potential correlation between these two variables. An online questionnaire survey was conducted with 250 respondents from seven cities, across nine universities in China, encompassing both high- low-risk areas concerning pandemic. In addition, assessments at three selected sites on campus were conducted. The results indicate that reported an increase perception indoor noise, particularly voices instrumental sounds. Concurrently, sound pressure levels during generally lower, resulting quieter outdoor environment. A total 54% experiencing symptoms this period, those perceiving changes exhibiting higher anxiety. significant observed levels. Overall satisfaction negatively correlated being more pronounced groups prone anxiety, such women. Furthermore, loudness most prominently perceived positively stronger less men. Respondents showed high level tolerance for social/communal sounds, Conversely, natural electromechanical sounds These findings provide valuable insights mitigating through manipulation
