Sound or noise

Fireworks are generally accompanied by various kinds of noise. This increases the effect of the firework display and produces feelings of 

The types of firework noise are as follows (1) The noise caused by firing, which is not so great at a distance, but quite loud at the firing site. Workers at the site sometimes stuff their ears with cotton-wool etc.

The main disadvantages of an omnidirectional microphone, as compared with a unidirectional, are lack of rejection of backgroimd sounds or noise and a susceptibility to feedback in sound-reinforcement applications. 

Figure 6.48 Examples of different sound intensity levels. The sound intensity factor reveals the amount of sound by which a specific sound is louder than a specific sound close to the MAF. Most sound measurements are conducted approximately 7m distant from the source of the sound or noise.

Furthermore, because of the different levels of noise sensitivity in humans, it is extraordinarily difficult to define generally acceptable noise limits which will prevent damage to a person s hearing. Under infrasound (frequency < 16 Hz) individual parts of the human body and organs can be stimulated to produce resonance vibrations. Under prolonged exposure to ultrasound (frequency > 20,000 Hz) the human body may respond with leucopenia. Sound or noise intensity levels above 3 W/cm, when applied for more than 10 min may cause the periosteum to become detached from the bone. 

Doubling the number of (equal) sources increases the sound or noise level by 3dB. 

Sound power (W). The acoustic power emitted by a source of sound or noise. It cannot be directly measured, but is calculated from the sound pressure p (in mbar) and the measuring surface area F (in m ) W = 0.025 p F (in mW). Sound intensity (J) A measure of the sound power per unit area perpendicular to the direction of propagation for a free sound field ... 

Phonophobia A fear of or intolerance to sounds, loud noises, and even one s own voice. 

Noise may be defined as any disagreeable or undesirable sound or sounds, generally of a random nature, which do not have clearly defined frequencies. 

Noise is accepted as a problem in most industries and may be defined as any disagreeable or undesirable sound or sounds, generally of a random nature, which do not have clearly defined frequencies. The usual basis for measuring noise or sound level is the decibel scale. Whether noise of a particular level is harmful or not also depends upon the length of exposure to it. This is the basis of the widely accepted limit of 85dB of continuous exposure to noise for eight hours per day. 

A sound or electrical wave whose instantaneous amplitudes occur as a function of time according to a normal (Gaussian) distribution curve. Random noise is an... 

It is important to know the sound transmission loss of walls and floors in order to be able to compare different constructions, to calculate acoustic privacy between apartments or noise levels from outdoor sources such as road traffic, and to engineer optimum solutions to noise control problems. Laboratory measurements can be made for many different types of partitions, but it is impractical to test every possible design, and so it is necessary to have reliable methods for predicting the sound transmission loss of typical building constructions. 

The size of the phonon is where the sound wave is, for example, a guitar string. The eigenfunctions are tones (or notes). A sound or a noise is a wave packet that can be written as a superposition of tones, called a Fourier series, involving different frequencies. The phonon is created as an excitation among the quantized energy levels and disappears in a deexcitation. Phonons play the major role in heat conduction, and the role of resistance in the case of electric conduction as we have previously seen. 

Make the maximum noise level of the equipment 80 dBA, 8 Hour Time Weighted Average when measured on the A scale of a standard sound level meter or noise dosimeter within 3 feet of the equipment. 

Since the sound pressure level ( - sound level or noise level) is a logarithmic ratio,...
