摘要：AbstractOccupants’ perception towards the value of indoor environment has always been a crucial issue. Having a good quality in an indoor environment influences the way occupants’ behave in their daily activities. Moreover, there are differences on gender perspective on how they perceive the value of indoor environment. However, gender perception towards rain noise effects in relation to students’ activities has been overlooked until today. Overall findings on mean scores reveal that both of gender concurred that a communication problem is the most influential activities disturbed when its rain. These findings supported by the physical measurement where the range of rain noise generated underneath metal deck roof system were exceeded 70dB which significantly trigger a masking effect of speech of the occupants. Meanwhile, t-test finding reveal those female students are more annoyed towards rain noise compared to the opposite gender
