USAF Bioenvironmental Noise Data Handbook. Volume 129. F-100 Aircraft In The AF32A-16 Noise Suppressor, Near and Far-Field Noise.

Abstract

Measured and extrapolated data defining the bioacoustic environments produced by an F-100 operating in a noise suppressor for four engine power configurations. Near-field data are reported for three locations in a wide variety of physical and psychoacoustic measures: overall and band sound pressure levels, C-weighted and A-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. Refer to volume 1 of this handbook, 'USAF Bioenvironmental Noise Data Handbook, Vol 1: Organization, Content and Application', AMRL-TR-75-50(1) 1975, for discussion of the objective and design of the handbook, the types of data presented, measurement procedures, instrumentation, data processing, definitions of quantities, symbols, equations, applications, limitations, etc.
