  2. Sound level meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_level_meter

    A sound level meter (also called sound pressure level meter (SPL)) is used for acoustic measurements. It is commonly a hand-held instrument with a microphone . The best type of microphone for sound level meters is the condenser microphone, which combines precision with stability and reliability. [ 1 ]

  3. Acoustical measurements and instrumentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustical_measurements...

    Analysis of sound and acoustics plays a role in such engineering tasks as product design, production test, machine performance, and process control. For instance, product design can require modification of sound level or noise for compliance with standards from ANSI, IEC, and ISO. The work might also involve design fine-tuning to meet market ...

  4. Noise dosimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_dosimeter

    Criterion level: 90, 85, 84, 80, or V (variable) Criterion duration: Hours Threshold level: 90, 80, or V (variable) Exchange rate: 5, 4, or 3 A noise or sound dose is the amount of sound a person is exposed to in a day. The dose is represented by a percentage. A noise dose of 100% means that a person has exceeded the permissible amount of noise.

  5. Sound pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_pressure

    The main instrument for measuring sound levels in the environment is the sound level meter. Most sound level meters provide readings in A, C, and Z-weighted decibels and must meet international standards such as IEC 61672-2013.

  6. Peak programme meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_programme_meter

    A variety of terms such as 'line-up level' and 'operating level' exist, and their meaning may vary from place to place. In an attempt bring clarity to level definitions in the context of programme transmission from one country to another, where different technical practices may apply, ITU-R Rec. BS.645 defined three reference levels: Measurement Level (ML), Alignment Level (AL) and Permitted ...

  7. Noise measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_measurement

    Noise may be measured using a sound level meter at the source of the noise. [23] [24] [25] Alternatively, an organization or company may measure a person's exposure to environmental noise in a workplace via a noise dosimeter. [26] The measurements taken using either of these methods will be evaluated according to the standards below.

  8. Ambient noise level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_noise_level

    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, the reference sound pressure for measuring ambient noise level is 0.0002 dyn/cm 2, or 0.00002 N/m 2. [6]
