Sound Measurement
1) Sound Pressure
Reference Value- 0.00002 N/m2
=0.0002 bar
2) Sound Power
Reference value- 10-12 Watt

Weighting Networks
Basic three types:- A, B and C weighted
networks
A- Weighted network:
Designed to give response from very low to high
sound levels
B- Weighted network:
Designed to give response of 55-85 dB sound
levels
C- Weighted network:
Designed to give response above 85 dB noise
RT=
Where, V= Volume of the enclosure
a= Total absorption of the enclosure
(a= Areax )

Octave Band
1/1 (standard) Octave bandsThe audio spectrum from ~ 20 Hz to ~ 20 KHz
can be divided up into ~ 11 octave bands.
Octave bandsThe audio spectrum from ~ 20 Hz to ~ 20 KHz
can be divided up into ~ 21 octave bands.
1/3 Octave bandsThe audio spectrum from ~ 20 Hz to ~ 20 KHz
can be divided up into ~ 31 octave bands.
