  • Definition and Measurement of Sound Energy Level of a Transient Sound Source
    J. Acoust. Soc. Jpn. (E) 8, 6 (1987) Definition and measurement of sound energy level of a transient sound source Hideki Tachibana,* Hiroo Yano,* and Koichi Yoshihisa** *Institute of Industrial Science , University of Tokyo, 7-22-1, Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, 106 Japan **Faculty of Science and Technology, Meijo University, 1-501, Shiogamaguti, Tenpaku-ku, Nagoya, 468 Japan (Received 1 May 1987) Concerning stationary sound sources, sound power level which describes the sound power radiated by a sound source is clearly defined. For its measuring methods, the sound pressure methods using free field, hemi-free field and diffuse field have been established, and they have been standardized in the international and national stan- dards. Further, the method of sound power measurement using the sound intensity technique has become popular. On the other hand, concerning transient sound sources such as impulsive and intermittent sound sources, the way of describing and measuring their acoustic outputs has not been established. In this paper, therefore, "sound energy level" which represents the total sound energy radiated by a single event of a transient sound source is first defined as contrasted with the sound power level. Subsequently, its measuring methods by two kinds of sound pressure method and sound intensity method are investigated theoretically and experimentally on referring to the methods of sound power level measurement.

  • Monitoring of Sound Pressure Level
    1. INTRODUCTION Noise is one of the main environmental problems of modern life and it is inseparable from human activities, urban and technological growth. National and international standards provide for a minimum of acoustic comfort for coexistence between man and industrial development. That's why a study of noise emission and environmental noise at the PALAGUA - CAIPAL Field was carried out; samples of measurements were taken in specific (punctual) manner to meet the sound pressure level (SPL) with a duration of five minutes per sample/measurement for noise measurements and 15 minutes for ambient or environmental noise in each direction: (north, east, south, west and vertical). The result of these measurements was compared with the maximum permissible noise emission and environmental noise standards stated in Resolution 627 of 2006 Ministry of Environment, Housing, and Territorial Development (MAVDT) and thus it was verified that they comply with environmental regulations in the PALAGUA - CAIPAL Field. 1 INFORME DE LABORATORIO 0860-09-ECO. NIVELES DE PRESIÓN SONORA EN EL AREA DE PRODUCCION CAMPO PALAGUA - CAIPAL PUERTO BOYACA, BOYACA. NOVIEMBRE DE 2009. 2.

  • Sound Power Measurement What Is Sound, Sound Pressure and Sound Pressure Level?
    www.dewesoft.com - Copyright © 2000 - 2021 Dewesoft d.o.o., all rights reserved. Sound power measurement What is Sound, Sound Pressure and Sound Pressure Level? Sound is actually a pressure wave - a vibration that propagates as a mechanical wave of pressure and displacement. Sound propagates through compressible media such as air, water, and solids as longitudinal waves and also as transverse waves in solids. The sound waves are generated by a sound source (vibrating diaphragm or a stereo speaker). The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium. As the source continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound and are forming the sound wave. At a fixed distance from the sound source, the pressure, velocity, and displacement of the medium vary in time. Compression Refraction Direction of travel Wavelength, λ Movement of air molecules Sound pressure Sound pressure or acoustic pressure is the local pressure deviation from the ambient (average, or equilibrium) atmospheric pressure, caused by a sound wave. In air the sound pressure can be measured using a microphone, and in water with a hydrophone. The SI unit for sound pressure p is the pascal (symbol: Pa). 1 Sound pressure level Sound pressure level (SPL) or sound level is a logarithmic measure of the effective sound pressure of a sound relative to a reference value. It is measured in decibels (dB) above a standard reference level. The standard reference sound pressure in the air or other gases is 20 µPa, which is usually considered the threshold of human hearing (at 1 kHz).

The evidence was used to stimulate discussion for determination of exposure limits (in children) to be applied to standards for personal audio devices. The review has been undertaken by February 2018 Dr Benjamin Roberts under the supervision of Dr Richard Neitzel, in collaboration with WHO.

  • Frequency Response and Bode Plots
    1 Frequency Response and Bode Plots 1.1 Preliminaries The steady-state sinusoidal frequency-response of a circuit is described by the phasor transfer function Hj( ) . A Bode plot is a graph of the magnitude (in dB) or phase of the transfer function versus frequency. Of course we can easily program the transfer function into a computer to make such plots, and for very complicated transfer functions this may be our only recourse. But in many cases the key features of the plot can be quickly sketched by hand using some simple rules that identify the impact of the poles and zeroes in shaping the frequency response. The advantage of this approach is the insight it provides on how the circuit elements influence the frequency response. This is especially important in the design of frequency-selective circuits. We will first consider how to generate Bode plots for simple poles, and then discuss how to handle the general second-order response. Before doing this, however, it may be helpful to review some properties of transfer functions, the decibel scale, and properties of the log function. Poles, Zeroes, and Stability The s-domain transfer function is always a rational polynomial function of the form Ns() smm as12 a s m asa Hs() K K mm12 10 (1.1) nn12 n Ds() s bsnn12 b s bsb 10 As we have seen already, the polynomials in the numerator and denominator are factored to find the poles and zeroes; these are the values of s that make the numerator or denominator zero. If we write the zeroes as zz123,, zetc., and similarly write the poles as pp123,, p , then Hs( ) can be written in factored form as ()()()s zsz sz Hs() K 12 m (1.2) ()()()s psp12 sp n 1 © Bob York 2009 2 Frequency Response and Bode Plots The pole and zero locations can be real or complex.

  • Lumens and Loudness: Projector Noise in a Nutshell
    Lumens and loudness: Projector noise in a nutshell Jackhammers tearing up the street outside; the In this white paper, we’re going to take a closer look at projector noise: what causes neighbor’s dog barking at squirrels; the hum of it, how to measure it, and how to keep it to a minimum. the refrigerator: noise is a fixture in our daily Why do projectors make noise? lives, and projectors are no exception. Like many high-tech devices, they depend on cooling There’s more than one source of projector noise, of course, but cooling fans are by systems that remove excess heat before it can far the major offender—and there’s no way around them. Especially projector bulbs cause permanent damage, and these systems give off a lot of heat. This warmth must be continuously removed or the projector will overheat, resulting in serious damage to the system. The fans that keep air unavoidably produce noise. flowing through the projector, removing heat before it can build to dangerous levels, make noise. Fans can’t help but make noise: they are designed to move air, and the movement of air is what makes sound. How much sound they make depends on their construction: the angle of the blades, their size, number and spacing, their surface quality, and the fan’s rotational speed. Moreover, for projector manufacturers it’s also key not to place a fan too close to an air vent or any kind of mesh, or they’ll end up with the siren effect: very annoying high-frequency, pure-tone noise caused by the sudden interruption of the air flow by the vent bars or the mesh wires.
