Content DescriptionThis American National Standard describes procedures for the measurement of sound pressure levels in the outdoor environment, considering the effects of the ground, the effects of refraction due to wind and temperature gradients, and the effects due to turbulence. This standard is focused on measurement of sound pressure levels produced by specific sources outdoors. The measured sound pressure levels can be used to calculate sound pressure levels at other distances from the source or to extrapolate to other environmental conditions or to assess compliance with regulation This standard describes two methods to measure sound pressure levels outdoors. METHOD No. 1: general method, outlines conditions for routine measurements. METHOD No. 2: precision method, describes strict conditions for more accurate measurements. This standard assumes the measurement of A-weighted sound pressure level or time-averaged sound pressure level octave, 1/3-octave or narrow-band sound pressure level, but does not preclude determination of other sound descriptors.About ASATo generate, disseminate, and promote the knowledge and practical applications of acoustics. |
