acoustic pressure (p)
Science; Acoustics
More commonly known as sound pressure is the difference between the pressure produced by an acoustic wave and the atmospheric pressure at a given point in space, and is measured in Pascal - symbol ...
threshold level
Science; Acoustics
Most regulations specify that for the measurement of noise at work, sound levels below a certain limit (the threshold) should be disregarded. The noise dose meter, therefore, sums up the ...
bow-tie correction
Science; Acoustics
Multispectra measurements for correlation functions are performed using spectrum averaging. Half of the normal time record is set to zero. Accordingly, correlation functions for continuous signals ...
health and safety at work
Science; Acoustics
Noise at work regulations or vibration at work regulations.
structure-borne noise
Science; Acoustics
Noise for which a significant portion of the transmission path from source to receiver takes place in a solid structure rather than through the air.
specific noise
Science; Acoustics
Noise from the source under investigation. Specific noise is a component of ambient noise and can be identified and associated with the specific source. Specific noise level is the A-weighted, Leq ...
