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 ...
The noise reduction coefficient (commonly abbreviated NRC) is a single number value ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 that describes the average sound absorption performance of a material. An NRC of 0.0 indicates the object does not attenuate mid-frequency sounds, but rather reflects sound energy.
Buying the wrong dishwasher can mean years of annoyance: It’ll take two hours to wash your plates, making a racket the whole time, and you end up having to hand wash tough stains away anyway.

The Sound Reduction Index is expressed in decibels (dB). It is the weighted sound reduction index for a partition or single component only. This is a laboratory-only measurement, which uses knowledge of the relative sizes of the rooms in the test suite, and the reverberation time in the receiving room, and the known level of noise which can pass between the rooms in the suite by other routes ...
