Abstract

This report specifies damage risk criteria for exposure to sound, and contains graphs of maximum sound pressure levels and durations of exposures that are considered tolerable along with examples of the use of these graphs. Also included is background information and a discussion of the rationale, assumptions, limitations, and general problems pertinent to the development and application of damage risk criteria and the related exposure contours. This report is intended primarily for technical persons working in this problem area in the military services and other government agencies. No attempt is made to interpret or simplify the report or procedures contained herein for special or particular operational situations.
