Analysis of Environmental Noise Monitors.

Abstract

This report establishes criteria and performance guidelines desirable in environmental noise monitors that are achievable through state-of-the-art technology. To assess this technology, the performances of 10 available units were evaluated based on the following points: (1) Data reduction methods and analytic results; (2) Dynamic range; (3) Impulse response; (4) Environmental considerations (temperature extremes and wind); (5) Shock resistance; (6) Ease of operation; and (7) Likelihood of errors in operation. Favorable and unfavorable features discovered during the investigation of these units are discussed, as well as desirable features found to be absent in all of the units. Based on the study and the conclusions, the operating characteristics of an ideal unit are recommended.
