  2. Sound transmission class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_transmission_class

    Sound Transmission Class (or STC) is an integer rating of how well a building partition attenuates airborne sound. In the US, it is widely used to rate interior partitions, ceilings, floors, doors, windows and exterior wall configurations. Outside the US, the ISO Sound Reduction Index (SRI) is used. The STC rating very roughly reflects the ...

  3. Sound exposure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_exposure

    Sound exposure level (SEL) is a logarithmic measure of the sound exposure of a sound relative to a reference value. Sound exposure level, denoted LE and measured in dB, is defined by [1] where. E is the sound exposure; E0 is the reference sound exposure; 1 Np = 1 is the neper; 1 B = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ ln 10 is the bel; 1 dB = ⁠ 1 / 20 ⁠ ln 10 is ...

  4. Noise map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_map

    For industrial noise map production, the most important thing is the description of noise sources: sound power levels (emission), directivity, working periods. Although some databases can be found, in some cases it is necessary to make measurements (ISO 3740) for describing the source.

  5. Absolute threshold of hearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_threshold_of_hearing

    Absolute threshold of hearing. The absolute threshold of hearing (ATH), also known as the absolute hearing threshold or auditory threshold, is the minimum sound level of a pure tone that an average human ear with normal hearing can hear with no other sound present. The absolute threshold relates to the sound that can just be heard by the ...

  6. Audiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiogram

    Audiogram. An audiogram is a graph that shows the audible threshold for standardized frequencies as measured by an audiometer. The Y axis represents intensity measured in decibels (dB) and the X axis represents frequency measured in hertz (Hz). [1] The threshold of hearing is plotted relative to a standardised curve that represents 'normal ...

  7. Sound power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_power

    Sound power level (SWL) or acoustic power level is a logarithmic measure of the power of a sound relative to a reference value. Sound power level, denoted LW and measured in dB, [9] is defined by: [10] where. P is the sound power; P0 is the reference sound power; 1 Np = 1 is the neper; 1 B = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ ln 10 is the bel;

  8. Noise regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_regulation

    Noise regulation includes statutes or guidelines relating to sound transmission established by national, state or provincial and municipal levels of government. After the watershed passage of the United States Noise Control Act of 1972, [1] other local and state governments passed further regulations. A noise regulation [citation needed ...

  9. Health effects from noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_from_noise

    Annoyance effects of noise are minimally affected by demographics, but fear of the noise source and sensitivity to noise both strongly affect the 'annoyance' of a noise. [42] Sound levels as low as 40 dB(A) can generate noise complaints [43] and the lower threshold for noise producing sleep disturbance is 45 dB(A) or lower. [44]
