Calculating NR values NR 90
80
To calculate the NR value of a space, NR 80
the noise level in each 1:1 octave NR 70
60
band is compared to the values NR 60
in the NR table or graph for each NR 50
40
corresponding band.
NR 40

NR 30
The NR curve number which applies
NR 20
to each frequency band is the highest
0 NR 10
numerical value that is not exceeded
NR 0
in that band. The overall NR value
is the highest of the individual NR -20
31.5 62.5 125 250 500 1000 2000 4000 8000
values for the frequency bands.

The overall NR value , i.e. the highest 0 NR 10
of the individual NR values over all NR 0
the frequency bands, is 58. Therefore -20
the room can be said to have a value 31.5 62.5 125 250 500 1000 2000 4000 8000
of NR 58. Frequency (Hz)
