By using noise monitoring calculators, you can:

• Accurately measure sound pressure levels (SPL) and noise doses.
• Combine noise levels from multiple sources.
• Calculate reverberation times, sound power levels, and noise barrier effectiveness.
• Assess the impact of noise on surrounding areas.

1. Sound Pressure Level (SPL) Calculator

• Description: Calculates the sound pressure level (in decibels) based on the measured sound pressure.
• Formula: SPL=20⋅log⁡10(P/ P0)
• Where:
  • PPP: Measured sound pressure (Pa)
  • P0​: Reference pressure (typically 2×10−5 Pa)

Combined Noise Level Calculator

• Description: Calculates the combined noise level from multiple sound sources.
• Formula: Lcombined=10⋅log⁡10(∑i=1n10Li/10)
• Where:
  • Li: Individual noise levels (dB)

Noise Dose Calculator

• Description: Estimates the noise dose percentage based on exposure time and noise levels.
• Formula: D=100 * T / Tmax
• Where:
  • T: Exposure time (hours)
  • Tmax​: Permissible exposure time at given noise level

Equivalent Continuous Sound Level (Leq) Calculator

• Description: Calculates the equivalent continuous sound level (Leq) over a period based on fluctuating noise levels.
• Formula: Leq=10⋅log⁡10(1n∑i=1n10Li/10)
• Where:
  • Li: Individual noise levels (dB)
  • n: Number of samples

Sound Power Level Calculator

• Description: Calculates the sound power level (Lw) of a source based on sound pressure levels and area.
• Formula: Lw=Lp+10⋅log⁡10(A)
• Where:
  • Lp​: Sound pressure level (dB)
  • AAA: Area (m²)

Noise Impact Distance Calculator

• Description: Estimates the distance at which noise reduces to a certain level due to the inverse square law.
• Formula: L2=L1−20⋅log⁡10(d2/d1)
• Where:
  • L1: Initial sound level (dB)
  • L2​: Final sound level (dB)
  • d1​: Initial distance (m)
  • d2​: Final distance (m)

Reverberation Time (RT60) Calculator

• Description: Calculates the reverberation time (RT60) of a room, which measures how long it takes for sound to decay by 60 dB.
• Formula: RT60 = 0.161 * V/A
• Where:
  • V: Room volume (m³)
  • A: Total absorption area (Sabins)

Noise Barrier Attenuation Calculator

• Description: Calculates the noise reduction (attenuation) provided by a barrier based on its geometry and sound frequency.
• Formula: Attenuation=10 * log⁡10(Path Difference / Wavelength)
• Where:
  • Path Difference: Difference in sound path with and without the barrier
  • Wavelength: Speed of sound / Frequency

Weighted Sound Level (dBA) Calculator

• Description: Adjusts the measured sound pressure level to reflect the human ear’s sensitivity to different frequencies.
• Formula: LA=Lp+Weighting Adjustment
• Weighting adjustments are based on frequency bands.
