4、ement of Environmental Sound - Part 1: Basic Quantities and Definitions Secretariat: Acoustical Society of America Approved on February 27, 2013, by: American National Standards Institute, Inc. Abstract This standard provides basic quantities for description of sound in community environments and ge

5、neral procedures for measurement of these quantities. Based on these quantities and procedures, compliance limits of sound may be specified by cognizant authorities and conformance with the limits controlled for purposes of environmental assessment, regulation, and land use planning. AMERICAN NATION

6、AL STANDARDS ON NOISE The Acoustical Society of America (ASA) provides the Secretariat for Accredited Standards Committees S1 on Acoustics, S2 on Mechanical Vibration and Shock, S3 on Bioacoustics, S3/SC 1 on Animal Bioacoustics, and S12 on Noise. These committees have wide representation from the t

7、echnical community (manufacturers, consumers, trade associations, organizations with a general interest, and government representatives). The standards are published by the Acoustical Society of America as American National Standards after approval by their respective Standards Committees and the Am

8、erican National Standards Institute (ANSI). These standards are developed and published as a public service to provide standards useful to the public, industry, and consumers, and to Federal, State, and local governments. Each of the Accredited Standards Committees (operating in accordance with proc

9、edures approved by ANSI) is responsible for developing, voting upon, and maintaining or revising its own Standards. The ASA Standards Secretariat administers Committee organization and activity and provides liaison between the Accredited Standards Committees and ANSI. After the Standards have been p

10、roduced and adopted by the Accredited Standards Committees, and approved as American National Standards by ANSI, the ASA Standards Secretariat arranges for their publication and distribution. An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially concerned with its scope and provis

11、ions. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all v

12、iews and objections be considered and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of an American National Standard is completely voluntary. Their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he or she has approved the Standards or not, from manufacturing, marketin

13、g, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the Standards. NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or w

14、ithdraw this Standard.

20、asic Quantities and Definitions. As such, this Foreword may contain material that has not been subjected to public review or a consensus process. In addition, it does not contain requirements necessary for conformance to the standard. This standard comprises a part of a group of definitions, standar

21、ds, and specifications for use in noise. It was developed and approved by Accredited Standards Committee S12, Noise, under its approved operating procedures. Those procedures have been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The Scope of Accredited Standards Committee S12 is

22、as follows: Standards, specifications, and terminology in the field of acoustical noise pertaining to methods of measurement, evaluation, and control, including biological safety, tolerance, and comfort, and physical acoustics as related to environmental and occupational noise. This standard is a re

23、vision of ANSI S12.9-1988/Part 1, which has been technically revised. This standard is the American National counterpart to International Standard ISO 1996-1:2003, with appropriate modifications to conform to American procedures and practice. This standard provides basic quantities and general proce

24、dures for the description and measurement of environmental sound in a community. At the time this Standard was submitted to Accredited Standards Committee S12, Noise, for approval, the membership was as follows: W.J. Murphy, Chair S.J. Lind, Vice-Chair S.B.

Research on the ways in which people and communities are affecte

26、d by common everyday noises in the environment has led to a variety of measures for assessment of different types of noise. The variety of measures has introduced some confusion about the relationship among the measures and their applicability for specific purposes. This standard defines consistent

27、measures for physical quantities that may be used to measure and assess environmental sound. Time-average A-weighted sound level is adopted in this standard as a basic quantity for all community sound except high-energy impulsive sound. A C-weighted sound exposure level is used to describe high-ener

28、gy impulsive sounds such as blasts or sonic boom, and it may be used to describe other low-frequency sound sources such as industrial processes, transportation sources and electric power generating facilities. The Annex provides information concerning some of the basic quantities that have been used

29、 to describe certain environmental sounds.

30、ons 1 Scope The purpose of this standard is to provide basic quantities and procedures for the description and measurement of sound in community environments. The information in this document supplements the basic information contained in the Standards listed as references. This standard defines the

31、 basic quantities that can be used separately or in combination for the description of community sound and describes basic procedures for measurement of the quantities. The scope of this standard encompasses all types of environmental sounds, separately or in combination, that contribute to the tota

32、l sound at a site. This standard does not specify limits for environmental sounds or recommend measurement locations or durations. This standard is applicable to the description and measurement of community sound for purposes of land use planning, environmental assessment, and noise control. Based o

33、n the principles described in this standard, compliance limits of sound may be specified by cognizant authorities and conformance with these limits controlled for purposes of environmental assessment and regulation and land use planning. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are
