EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF A PROTOTYPE NOISE EXPOSURE METER,

Abstract

This report describes an investigation of the performance of a prototype, personal noise exposure meter. The meter, utilizing electrochemical storage cells, provides a measure of total integrated noise energy to which its wearer is exposed during a day. The instrument performs within reasonable tolerances of those characteristics specified in the original design. Additional circuitry was installed to provide an indication of overload of the instrument. A record of the time history of the noise exposure is not provided by this type of instrument. Recommendations are made concerning the development of future noise dosimeters. (Author)
