USAF Bioenvironmental Noise Data Handbook: Volume 68. B-57G Aircraft, Near and Far-Field Noise,

Abstract

The USAF B-57G aircraft is a close air support bomber powered by two J65-W-5 turbojet engines. This report provides measured and extrapolated data defining the bioacoustic environments produced by this aircraft operating on a concrete runup pad for three power conditions. Near-field data are reported for 4 locations in a wide variety of physical and psychoacoustic measures: overall and band sound pressure levels, C-weighted sound levels, preferred speech interference level, perceived noise level, and limiting times for total daily exposure of personnel with and without standard Air Force ear protectors. Far-field data measured at 19 locations are normalized to standard meteorological conditions and extrapolated from 75-8000 meters to derive sets of equal-value contours for these same seven acoustic measures as functions of angle and distance from the source.
