Statistical Noise Levels, the certain boundary level
surpassed by the temporary noise level values in
not more than nn% of the observation period. Lnn
are calculated on the base of 100ms Leq results and
renewed every second on the display as cumulated
statistics over the current measurement time.
Day-evening-night equivalent level, Leq. Sound
Level, measured over the 24 hour period, with a
10 dB penalty added to the levels between 23.00
and 07.00 hours and a 5 dB penalty added to the
levels between 19.00 and 23.00 hours to reflect
people's extra sensitivity to noise during the night
and the evening. The instrument displays: Ld, Le,
Ln, Lde, Len, Lnd, or Lden depending on the day
and night time which the measurement covers. Due
to different country requirements, it is possible to
shift day time from 7h-19h to 6h-18h.
Individual Sound Exposure Level to the noise is
equal to the standing sound level in a measurement
period. The PSEL result is calculated on the base of
the LEQ.
Quantity of noise received by the worker, expressed
as the percentage of the whole day acceptable
value.
Quantity of noise received by the worker for 8 hours.
Quantity of noise received by the worker during
exposure time.
Average level of the acoustic pressure for the given
time period of the measurement.
