Scope

Reference sound sources are used extensively in comparison methods for determining the noise emissions of physically stationary sound sources. A reference sound source, of known sound power output, is used to establish the numerical relationship between the sound power level of a source, in a given location in a given acoustical environment and the space- and time-averaged sound pressure level at a set of microphone positions. This is an identical national adoption of ISO 6926:1999.
