This paper discusses the results of the pilot experimental research dedicated to speech recognition and perception of the semantic\ncontent of the utterances in noisy environment. The experiment included perceptual-auditory analysis of words and phrases in\nRussian and German (in comparison) in the same noisy environment: various (pink and white) types of noise with various levels\nof signal-to-noise ratio. The statistical analysis showed that intelligibility and perception of the speech in noisy environment are\ninfluenced not only by noise type and its signal-to-noise ratio, but also by some linguistic and extralinguistic factors, such as the\nexisting redundancy of a particular language at various levels of linguistic structure, changes in the acoustic characteristics of the\nspeaker while switching fromone language to another one, the level of speaker and listener�s proficiency in a specific language, and\nacoustic characteristics of the speaker�s voice.
