SOUND MEASUREMENT A sound level measurement shall be sufficient for all purposes if it is carried out in accordance with the following:

When determining the sound level from a source, the ambient or background noise or sound level shall be established at the appropriate position and during the relevant period of time wherever possible before taking sound measurements from the source. No measurement should be attempted if the difference is 3 decibels or less.

  • (c) Sound measurements shall be made at a distance of approximately 10 feet from any wall, buildings or other reflecting structures with the microphone appropriately oriented to eliminate as much as possible all reflected sound.
