Notes:
dB(A): The overall level of a sound is usually expressed in terms of dBA, which is measured using a sound level meter with an "A-weighting" filter. This is an electronic filter having a frequency response
corresponding approximately to that of human hearing.
LAeq, 15 minute: The A-weighted equivalent noise level (basically the average noise level). It is defined as the steady sound level that contains the same amount of acoustical energy as the corresponding time-varying sound, in this instance over a period of 15 minutes.
LA1, 1 minute: The noise level exceeded for 1% of the 15 minute interval.
I/A: When site noise is noted as inaudible (I/A), no site noise was audible at the monitoring location.
Not Measurable (NM): indicates that some site noise was audible, but indeterminate due to one of the following reasons:
- site noise levels were insignificant and unlikely, in many cases, to be even noticed; or
- site noise levels were masked by another relatively loud noise source, but were estimated to be less than LAeq 30 dB, which is insignificant in terms of any applicable criterion.
