Application of the Brüel & Kjaer Measuring Systems to Acoustic Noise Measurements (Second Edition), 1971-01, 1973-01

Document Type: Book (Technical).

Purpose: Authoritative reference.

Authority: Author Expertise.

Scope (from Preface): ""To be able to effectively control noise it is necessary that the noise be measured objectively, according to more or less internationally standardized procedures, and that the measured results are evaluated against predetermined criteria for acceptance. The intention of this book is to briefly describe some of the most important measurement methods and acceptance criteria in use today, and to aquaint the less experienced engineer with the use of Brüel & Kjar instruments for acoustic noise measurements.""
