DATA RELIABILITY
Data in this chapter comes from both from consulting
experience and research studies. Use caution when
applying the data, especially for situations that
extrapolate from the framework of the original research.
Although specific uncertainties cannot be stated for each
data set, the sound levels or attenuation data are
probably within 2 dB of measured or expected results.
However, significantly greater variations may occur,
especially in low frequency ranges and particularly in
the 63 Hz octave band. Specific data sets may have a
wide uncertainty range, but experience suggests that, if
done correctly, system estimates that combine data sets
usually
compare
about 5 dB of measured levels.

AerodynamicallyGeneratedSoundinDucts
Aerodynamic sound is generated when airflow turbulence occurs at duct elements such as duct
fittings, dampers, air modulation units, sound attenuators, and room air devices. For details on air
modulation units and sound attenuators, see the sections on Variable Air Volume Systems and
Duct Silencers.
