2 Annex G1: Noise Perception and Terminology
3 Appendix G Noise and Vibration Annex G1: Noise Perception and Terminology G.1.1. G.1.2. Between the quietest audible sound and the loudest tolerable sound there is a million to one ratio in sound pressure (measured in pascals, Pa). Because of this wide range a noise level scale based on logarithms is used in noise measurement called the decibel (db) scale. Audibility of sound covers a range of approximately 0 to 140 db. The human ear system does not respond uniformly to sound across the detectable frequency range and consequently instrumentation used to measure noise is weighted to represent the performance of the ear. This is known as the 'A weighting' and annotated as db (A) or LpA db. Table 1 below lists the sound pressure level in db (A) for common situations. Table 1: Sound Pressure Levels for a Range of Situations Typical Noise Levels Example 0 Threshold of hearing 30 Rural area at night, still air 40 Public library Refrigerator humming at 2m 50 Quiet office, no machinery Boiling kettle at 0.5m 60 Normal conversation 70 Telephone ringing at 2m Vacuum cleaner at 3m 80 General factory noise level 100 Pneumatic drill at 5m 120 Discotheque - 1m in front of loudspeaker 140 Threshold of pain G.1.3. G.1.4. The noise level at a measurement point is rarely steady, even in rural areas, and varies over a range dependent upon the effects of local noise sources. Close to a busy road, the noise level may vary over a range of 5, whereas in a suburban area this may increase up to 40 and more due to the multitude of noise sources in such areas (cars, dogs, aircraft etc.) and their variable operation. Furthermore, the range of night time noise levels will often be smaller and the levels significantly reduced compared to daytime levels. Background Noise Levels A parameter that is widely accepted as reflecting human perception of the ambient noise is the background noise level, L 90, this is usually A weighted and can be displayed as L 90 or L A90 (db). This is the noise level exceeded for 90 % of the measurement period and generally reflects the noise level in the lulls between individual noise events. Over a one hour period, the L A90 will be the noise level exceeded for 54 minutes. April 2014 Page 1
4 Ambient or Activity Noise Levels G.1.5. G.1.6. G.1.7. G.1.8. G.1.9. G The equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level, L Aeq (or L eq ) is the single number that represents the total sound energy measured over that period. L Aeq is the sound level of a notionally steady sound having the same energy as a fluctuating sound over a specified measurement period. It is commonly used to express the energy level from individual sources that vary in level over their operational cycle. L max levels The L Amax,slow and L Amax,fast measurement parameters are the maximum instantaneous sound pressure level attained during the measurement period (30 seconds, 5 minutes etc.), measured on the slow or fast response setting of the sound level meter. This is sometimes expressed as L Amax db or L max. Even though sounds appear fairly steady to the human ear they are seldom if ever steady in level. To accommodate this factor, sound level meters (SLMs) are generally provided with at least two meter responses or exponential averaging circuits. Fast meter response has a time constant of 1/8th of a second (125ms) and approximates the integration time of human hearing. The slow time response (time constant = 1 second) is intended to obtain an approximate average value of rapidly fluctuating levels from simple meter readings. Noise Changes Human subjects are generally only capable of noticing changes in noise levels of no less than 3. It is generally accepted that a change of 10 in an overall, steady noise level is perceived to the human ear as a doubling (or halving) of the noise level. (These findings do not necessarily apply to transient or non-steady noise sources such as changes in noise due to changes in road traffic flow, or intermittent noise sources). Sound Power Sound power is the rate per unit time at which airborne sound energy is radiated by a source. It is expressed it watts (W). Sound power level or acoustic power level is a logarithmic measure of the sound power in comparison to the reference level of 1 pw (picowatt). The sound power level is given the letter "Lw" or SWL. It is not the same thing as sound pressure (Lp). Any Lp value is dependent of the distance from the noise source and the environment in which it was measured. Lw values are preferred for noise prediction purposed as their value is independent of distance or environment. There are recognised formulas for converting Lw to Lp. A-weighted sound power levels are usually denoted LwA (db) or sometimes Lw (dba) or SWL (dba). Sound Reduction Index The sound insulation properties of a material are described by the term sound reduction index (R) i.e. it is a measure of the reduction in the amount of sound transmitted through a material. The higher the sound reduction index the greater the attenuation provided by the material. The value of R depends on a range of factors, in particular the mass of the material, the nature of the material, and the frequency of the sound. The R values for April 2014 Page 2
5 individual octave bands can be combined into an overall single figure, the weighted sound reduction index Rw. Internal Noise Levels G G G G In an enclosed space such as an individual room, or a building, the noise from a source can not propagate in the same way as outdoors because the propagation of the sound is obstructed by the boundaries (walls, ceiling and floor) of the building. These surfaces together with the contents of the building reflect a proportion of the sound back inside the building or room, the amount depending on the absorption coefficient of the various surfaces. Therefore the overall noise level at a position within the building is a combination of the sound received directly from the source (the direct sound field) and the sound received from reflections from the internal surfaces (the reverberant sound field). The more absorptive the surfaces in a building the less sound is reflected and the lower the contribution of the reverberant sound field to the overall noise level. Frequency Spectrum Frequency is the rate at which the air particles vibrate. The more rapid the vibrations, the higher the frequency and perceived pitch. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz). A young person with average hearing can generally detect sounds in the range 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz (20 khz). Figure 9A.1 below illustrates the range of frequencies, for example, the lowest note on a full scale piano, A, has a fundamental at 28 Hz, and the highest, G, a fundamental at 4186 Hz (there will be higher order harmonics). Human speech is predominantly in the range 250 Hz Hz. The musical term octave is the interval between the first and eighth note in a scale and represents a doubling of frequency. A series of octave and one-third octave bands have been derived, as shown on Figure 1 and these are commonly used in noise measurements where it is necessary to describe not only the level of the source noise but also the frequency content. The frequency content of a noise source can be useful for identifying acoustic features such as a whine, hiss or screech. April 2014 Page 3
