USAF Bioenvironmental Noise Data Handbook. Volume 135. F-106 Aircraft In the AF32A-17 Noise Suppressor, Near and Far-Field Noise.

Abstract

The AF32A-17 noise suppressor is made by Jetway Equipment Corporation for acoustical suppression of the F-106 aircraft. This report provides measured and extrapolated data defining the bioacoustic environments produced by this aircraft operating in this suppressor for five engine power configurations. Near-field data are reported for two 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 derived sets of equal-value contours for these same seven acoustic measures as functions of angle and distance from the source.
