Abstract
Background noise criteria for indoor spaces have been in existence for decades without an associated standard measurement procedure to verify compliance. The lack of a standard measurement procedure can lead to a significant difference in reported sound levels in a room, even from experienced professionals. The proposed procedure is intended for measuring background sound levels from continuous noise sources, and is being recommended to ASHRAE Technical Committee 2.6 for inclusion in the 2003 Applications Handbook. The purpose of the procedure is to standardize the instrumentation and method of determining the background sound levels. The procedure can be used by anyone charged with the task of comparing a room’s background noise environment with established noise criteria.
