  2. Ambient noise level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_noise_level

    Alternatively ambient noise levels may be measured to provide a reference point for analyzing an intrusive sound to a given environment. For example, sometimes aircraft noise is studied by measuring ambient sound without presence of any overflights, and then studying the noise addition by measurement or computer simulation of overflight events.

  3. Background noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_noise

    Background noise or ambient noise is any sound other than the sound being monitored (primary sound). Background noise is a form of noise pollution or interference . Background noise is an important concept in setting noise levels.

  4. Colors of noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colors_of_noise

    Noise that has a frequency spectrum of predominantly zero power level over all frequencies except for a few narrow bands or spikes. Note: An example of black noise in a facsimile transmission system is the spectrum that might be obtained when scanning a black area in which there are a few random white spots. Thus, in the time domain, a few ...

  5. Underwater acoustics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_acoustics

    Ambient noise is that part of the received noise that is independent of the source, receiver and platform characteristics. Thus it excludes reverberation and towing noise for example. The background noise present in the ocean, or ambient noise, has many different sources and varies with location and frequency. [ 26 ]

  6. Noise pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_pollution

    Noise laws classify sound into three categories. First is ambient noise, which refers to sound pressure of all-encompassing noise associated with a given environment. The second is continuous noise, which could be steady or fluctuating, but continues for more than an hour.

  7. Noise (spectral phenomenon) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_(spectral_phenomenon)

    Noise figure, the ratio of the output noise power to attributable thermal noise; Ambient noise level, the background sound pressure level at a given location; Noise power, with several related meanings; Noise spectral density, N o measured in Watt/Hertz; Noise temperature, temperature that would produce equivalent semiconductor noise

  8. Subsurface mapping by ambient noise tomography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsurface_mapping_by...

    The ambient noise should thus increase in the daytime while reducing at night. Apart from the temporal variation, the spatial variation can also matter. For example, the commercial shipping is usually concentrated on certain routes. The corresponding amplitude of ambient noise should also decrease when moving away from the shipping routes. [13]

  9. Ambience (sound recording) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambience_(sound_recording)

    In filmmaking, ambience (also known as atmosphere, atmos, or background) consists of the sounds of a given location or space. [1] It is the opposite of "silence". Ambience is similar to presence, but is distinguished by the existence of explicit background noise in ambience recordings, as opposed to the perceived "silence" of presence recordings.
