  2. Reference tone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_tone

    In telecommunication, a standard test tone is a pure tone with a standardized level generally used for level alignment of single links and of links in tandem. [1]For standardized test signal levels and frequencies, see MIL-STD-188-100 for United States Department of Defense (DOD) use, and the Code of Federal Regulations Title 47, part 68 for other Government agencies.

  3. dB drag racing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DB_drag_racing

    The vehicles are sealed tight to maximize containment of the sound energy for the decibel level meter. The competitor stands away from the vehicle with an on/off switch control while a computer voice announces the stages for the "races". The test tone consists of a very short resonating tone between 30 Hz and 70 Hz, called "the burp". [5]

  4. Equal-loudness contour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-loudness_contour

    In their study, test subjects listened to pure tones at various frequencies and over 10 dB increments in stimulus intensity. For each frequency and intensity, the listener also listened to a reference tone at 1000 Hz. Fletcher and Munson adjusted the reference tone until the listener perceived that it had the same loudness as the test tone.

  5. GLITS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glits

    The final BLITS tone sequence is a 2 kHz tone at -24dBFS on all six channels – the lower source signal level ensuring that any derived downmixes remain close to -18dBFS. The alternative EBU multichannel ident tone follows a format more closely associated with the film industry. A sustained 80 Hz runs on the LFE channel throughout the sequence.

  6. Loop around - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_around

    A loop line or loop around is a telephone company test circuit. The circuit has two associated phone numbers. When one side of the loop is called (side A), the caller receives a test tone of approximately 1000 Hz (milliwatt test). When the second number (side B) is called, it produces dead silence, but the party on side A hears the milliwatt ...

  7. Tone decay test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_decay_test

    A tone at the frequency of 4000 Hz is presented for 60 seconds at an intensity of 5 decibels above the patient's absolute threshold of hearing. If the patient stops hearing the tone before 60 seconds, the intensity level is increased by another 5 decibels with the procedure repeated until the tone can be heard for the full 60 seconds or until no decibel level can be found where the tone can be ...

    Researchers found that being able to stand on one leg for 30 seconds is a good indicator that someone is at low risk for falling and can live independently, signs of healthy aging.

  9. Milliwatt test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliwatt_test

    The test consists of transmitting an analog sinusoidal signal at the frequency of 1004 Hz with the power level of 0 (zero) dBm. By definition, this is the equivalent of a continuous power dissipation of 1 mW ( milliWatt ), i.e., the power consumed if a voltage of 0.775 V ( RMS ) is applied to a telephone line with 600 Ohm nominal impedance.
