NOISE LEVELS - ICAO ANNEX 16 CHAPTER 4
Effective Perceived Noise Level (EPNL) exceedances for
EMBRAER 170 models and engine versions are listed in the tables
below. All the data herein presented is based on the EMBRAER 170
airplane noise certification test data base.
Compliance to ICAO Annex 16 Section 4.4 is met when:
1. Of the 3 noise levels, none may exceed the Stage 3/Chapter 3
limits, without considering trades. Thus the maximum
Stage3/Chapter 3 exceedance at any one point is 0 dB.
2. For any two of the 3 conditions, the sum of the exceedances at any
2 conditions must be less than -2 dB.
3. The sum of the exceedances at all 3 conditions must be less than
-10 dB.
The correspondent engine noise level, as perceived by human ear, is
presented at the Maximum A-Weighted Sound Level table.
