  2. 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 ...

  3. Noise map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_map

    strategic noise map shall mean a map designed for the global assessment of noise exposure in a given area due to different noise sources or for overall predictions for such an area." EU Member States are required to produce strategic noise maps in their main cities, near the main transport infrastructure and industrial sites. The main goals of ...

  5. Noise measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_measurement

    When sound levels reach a high enough intensity, the sound, whether it is wanted or unwanted, may be damaging to hearing. [3] Environmental noise monitoring is the measurement of noise in an outdoor environment caused by transport (e.g. motor vehicles, aircraft, and trains), industry (e.g. machines) and recreational activities (e.g. music).

  6. Ambient noise level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_noise_level

    Ambient noise level is measured with a sound level meter. [4] It is usually measured in dB relative to a reference pressure of 0.00002 Pa, i.e., 20 μPa (micropascals) in SI units. [5] This is because 20 μPa is the faintest sound the human ear can detect. [5] A pascal is a newton per square meter. The centimeter-gram-second system of units ...

  7. Sound intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_intensity

    I 0 is the reference sound intensity; 1 Np = 1 is the neper; 1 B = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ ln(10) is the bel; 1 dB = ⁠ 1 / 20 ⁠ ln(10) is the decibel. The commonly used reference sound intensity in air is [5] = /. being approximately the lowest sound intensity hearable by an undamaged human ear under room conditions.

  8. Atmospheric noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_noise

    CCIR 322 atmospheric noise relationship. [1] The standard has tables and maps that determine the noise figure at 1 MHz according to the season and the time of day. This graph converts that noise figure to other frequencies. Notice that the plotted lines are spaced in 10 dB increments at 1 MHz.
