  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. Signal-to-noise ratio - Wikipedia

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

    It is often possible to reduce the noise by controlling the environment. 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.

  4. Equal-loudness contour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-loudness_contour

    For these reasons equal-loudness curves derived using noise bands show an upwards tilt above 1 kHz and a downward tilt below 1 kHz when compared to the curves derived using pure tones. Various weighting curves were derived in the 1960s, in particular as part of the DIN 4550 standard for audio quality measurement , which differed from the A ...

  5. Detection limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detection_limit

    Most analytical instruments produce a signal even when a blank (matrix without analyte) is analyzed.This signal is referred to as the noise level. The instrument detection limit (IDL) is the analyte concentration that is required to produce a signal greater than three times the standard deviation of the noise level.

  6. Absolute threshold of hearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold_of_hearing

    A certain amount of energy is needed within a time frame to reach the threshold. This can be done by using a higher intensity for less time or by using a lower intensity for more time. Sensitivity to sound improves as the signal duration increases up to about 200 to 300 ms, after that the threshold remains constant. [2]

  7. Minimum detectable signal - Wikipedia

    Here, k ≈ 1.38 × 10 −23 J/K is the Boltzmann constant and kT 0 is the available noise power density (the noise is thermal noise, Johnson noise). As a numerical example: A receiver has a bandwidth of 100 MHz, a noise figure of 1.5 dB and the physical temperature of the system is 290 K.

  9. ITU-R 468 noise weighting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITU-R_468_noise_weighting

    The 1968 BBC EL-17 report discusses several weighting curves, including one identified as D.P.B. which was chosen as superior to the alternatives: A.S.A, C.C.I.F and O.I.R.T. The report's graph of the DPB curve is identical to that of the ITU-R 468 curve, except that the latter extends to slightly lower and higher frequencies.
