Calculation of noise dose from time distribution of sound levels. 1980

B Erlandsson, and H Håkanson, and A Ivarsson, and P Nilsson, and B Salén

The noise from ten different sites in a machine factory was measured and cumulative time distributions of the sound pressure were constructed. From these distributions it is possible to calculate the energy mean level, the equivalent sound level as well as the average sound pressure level. Calculations based on knowledge of the times during which only a few sound pressure levels are exceeded give values deviating systematically from the exact value. Because of the systematic nature of the deviations corrections can be made for them. The accuracy of this method is relatively high.
