Abstract
The increased use of energy-averaged, single-number measures of environmental noise (e.g., Leq and LDN) makes desirable careful comparison with the more easily obtained and more frequently used statistical levels (e.g., L10 and L50). Analysis of a variety of environmental noise distributions, as well as a theoretical analysis of normal distributions, indicates strong correlation between several of the statistical levels (particularly the L10 and the L15) and the energy-equivalent sound level (Leq) for many types of environmental noise.
