2. Doctors Say This Type Of Noise Is Best For Deep Sleep - AOL

   www.aol.com/doctors-type-noise-best-deep...

   If you want to give white noise a try, Dr. Maddox recommends keeping it at a low decibel level and not blasting it all day, as playing white noise at high decibels can cause long-term issues with ...

3. Health effects from noise - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_from_noise

   Sound levels as low as 40 dB(A) can generate noise complaints [43] and the lower threshold for noise producing sleep disturbance is 45 dB(A) or lower. [ 44 ] Other factors that affect the annoyance level of sound include beliefs about noise prevention and the importance of the noise source, and annoyance at the cause (i.e., non-noise related ...

4. Noise curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_curve

   Noise curves are a common way to characterise background noise in unoccupied buildings and spaces. [1] Their purpose is to produce a single-value representation of a complete sound spectrum. International standards organizations ( ISO , [ 2 ] ANSI [ 3 ] and ASA ) recognize the need to objectify judgements on the amount of ambient noise in ...

5. Sound transmission class - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_transmission_class

   The STC is useful for evaluating annoyance due to speech sounds, but not music or machinery noise as these sources contain more low frequency energy than speech. [ 1 ] There are many ways to improve the sound transmission class of a partition, though the two most basic principles are adding mass and increasing the overall thickness.

6. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal-to-noise_ratio

   Internal electronic noise of measurement systems can be reduced through the use of low-noise amplifiers. When the characteristics of the noise are known and are different from the signal, it is possible to use a filter to reduce the noise.

7. Noise temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_temperature

   The noise factor (a linear term) is more often expressed as the noise figure (in decibels) using the conversion: = ⁡ The noise figure can also be seen as the decrease in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) caused by passing a signal through a system if the original signal had a noise temperature of 290 K. This is a common way of expressing the noise ...
