This Standard provides guidance on the use of sound level meters for the taking of objective sound measurements according to standardized procedures. Guidance is given on types of sound level meters, types of sounds and their identification, measurement techniques, and the reporting of information obtained. Calibration of the equipment is also described. This Standard does not cover the interpretation of any sound pressure levels obtained using the methods described.
