SOUND LEVEL

Domain	Definition
Aerospace	Specifically, a weighted sound pressure level, obtained by the use of metering characteristics and the weightings A, B, or C specified in American Standard Publication Z24.3-1944: Sound Level Meters for Measurement of Noise and Other Sounds. The weighting employed pressure is 0.0002 microbar.A suitable method of stating the weighting is, for example, The A-sound level was 43 decibels. (references)
Environment	In decibels, the quantity measured by an instrument satisfying the requirements of ANSI S1. 4. In this specification, sound level, L, is the frequency-weighted sound pressure level obtained with the standardised "slow" dynamic characteristic and the A-weighting. Source: European Union.

Non-Fiction Usage: SOUND LEVEL

Subject	Topic	Quote
Health		To define what sounds can damage hearing, sound level, whether across all frequency bands or taken band by band, is not enough. (references)
		Those results, however, were taken to indicate that a halving of duration could be offset by a 5-dB change in sound level rather than a 3-dB change. (references)
		There appears to be reasonable agreement that sound levels below 75 dB(A) will not engender a permanent hearing loss, even at 4000 Hz. At higher levels, the amount of hearing loss is directly related to sound level for comparable durations. (references)
